[talk-au] Importing Hobsons Bay City Council tree data into OSM

[David Sisourath]

Hi all,

The import of street and park trees in Hobsons Bay has been complete. You may see the results on the import account page<https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/HobsonsBayCityCouncil_Import/history>.

I intend to continue the import of other Hobsons Bay open data, and have updated the import catalogue page<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue/Hobsons_Bay_City_Council> to match this. These datasets are much smaller than the street and park trees dataset, and all data will be checked with current OSM data before uploading.


Regards,

David

Subject: Importing Hobsons Bay City Council tree data into OSM

Hi,

I intend to import tree data in the Hobsons Bay LGA into OSM.

The data has been verified by myself with aerial imagery and DELWP/VicMap boundaries.

I will be importing small squares of data at a time, including the tree circumference, species (if known) or genus (if species unknown). Tree circumference in the data are grouped by ranges of 150mm. I have taken the maximum of these ranges to be the circumference in my code.

A source tag will be attached to each tree node imported, source=data.gov.au:Hobsons Bay City Council, and also on the relevant changesets.

A waiver has been signed by Hobsons Bay and is available on both the Australian Data Catalogue page and the Contributors<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#Hobsons_Bay_City_Council_data> page.

Any questions or feedback regarding the import would be highly appreciated, including whether the approach to the circumference tag, and source tag is acceptable.


Regards,

David
