[talk-au] Importing 200 emergency markers?

[Kim Oldfield]

Hi,

I have a list of 200 emergency marker locations along 22km of the 
Puffing Billy Railway which were provided to me by the railway with 
permission to include them in OSM.

I've been reading through https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import - 
most of which appears to be geared toward larger imports and using 
publicly available data with various licenses. The data for my import is 
not publicly available, and was provided to me when I asked to import it 
into OSM.

I've searched overpass-turbo and there are no 
highway=emergency_access_points, name~"PBM", or ref~"PBM" near the list 
of nodes I have to import. This indicates that none of the nodes are 
already mapped.

Based on the example file on 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM_file_format I've converted the 
emergency marker list into xml, the start of which looks like:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<osm version="0.6">
<node id="-3" lat="-37.907468" lon="145.36039">
   <tag k="ref" v="PBM003"/>
   <tag k="highway" v="emergency_access_point"/>
</node>
...

In JOSM I can import this file and merge the layer. I'm intending to 
then upload this with appropriate an comment noting that the data was 
provided by Puffing Billy Railway with permission to include it in OSM.

I'm proposing to import this as a one off, single change set under my 
existing OSM username.

Is this a reasonable way to do this import? Is there anything else I 
should do?

Regards,
Kim
