[OSM-talk-be] kadaster

[Benoit Leseul]

Hi,

I went to the JDLL in Lyon this weekend, and the OSM volunteers there
explained to me that the French administration was making the cadastre
publicly available for everyone following an EU directive. If it is
true, it means that something similar should exist in Belgium (it does
not, see http://www.cadastre.be/FAQ.aspx#Informations%20cadastrales or
http://www.kadaster.be/FAQ.aspx#Kadaster%20online ). It is probably
more complicated for us though, because we seem to have dozens of
local "bureaux", depending on the region.

Even for France, it is not so easy as it seems: what they are able to
get are PDFs from which they extract vector information. This is then
imported in JOSM with a coordinate transform (they have five or six
different projections for France). For each town, the result has to be
"fixed" for hundreds of buildings which have impossible or too
complicated shapes in the cadastre, before they can finally import it.
The process takes at least half a day of volunteer work for each town.
