[talk-au] URL for viewing Vic Gov data layers in JOSM

[Little Maps]

Andrew, as far as I can see, there is no formal differentiation between “VicMap” and the layers available on “Data Vic”. The 2018 OSM Waiver refers to “VicMap Datasets” in general, with no more specific information. 

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Vicmap_CCBYPermission_OSM_Final_Jan2018_Ltr.pdf

The “VicMap Data” web page (dated 2017) mentions “more than 600 different data sets available” - http://services.land.vic.gov.au/landchannel/content/productCatalogue

This web page now links directly to a more recent “DataVic” web page, which is where the URL I provided links back to: https://www.data.vic.gov.au/

“DataVic” appears to be the latest incarnation of “VicData” but I could not find any explicit statement to this effect on either web site. Hence I have no idea how anyone, in or out of government, could identify which datasets we do or don’t have permission to use under the 2018 waiver. In the absence of any information to the contrary (and given the explicit web link between the two sites), “DataVic” appears to be synonymous with “VicData”.

Sorry to be so non committal!  Ian

>> Thanks again Andrew. If anyone else is interested in viewing any of a myriad of Vic Gov maps as background images in JOSM, you can view them by selecting the Imagery/Imagery Preferences tab at the top of the JOSM screen, then pushing the +WMS button and entering the following URL in the 'Entering GetCapabilities URL' box. There's an amazing array of base maps available. Cheers Ian
