[OSM-talk-be] Natura 2000 + SPW

[Julien Fastré]

Hi,

I keep you inform: we have a next appointment with SPW (Service public 
de Wallonie) on Friday. We will discuss with the "top manager" (le 
directeur de la géomatique) about applying an open licence on some data 
published on the brand new "geoportail" (http://geoportail.wallonie.be). 
eMerzh, Benoit Coumont and I will be present there.

Last October, we met them for a first time. We were planning to discuss 
opening some orthophoto and a address' database for beginning during 2013.

I was also thinking about something: the Natura 2000 sites are, in 
Wallonia, designated by decrees. Those are in public domain (are they?). 
A map of the Natura 2000 areas are joined to the decree (see an example 
here : http://environnement.wallonie.be/legis/consnat/natura001.htm, 
annexe 2)

Should we not consider those data are in public domain ? Including the 
publication on the WMS server ?

Can't we integrate those data into OSM'database, with specific tags ? 
Having a link to the [fiche descriptive] here : 
http://biodiversite.wallonie.be/fr/rechercher-un-site-interessant-ou-protege.html?IDC=2828&TYPE_N2000=site_n2000 
?

Searching on the wiki, I read that something has already the same idea 
on a meeting on 12th September 
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Activities/2012-09-12-namur)

> Les données Natura 2000 (Région wallonne) sont déjà libres et 
> réutilisables. Les PICverts seraient potentiellement libérables, voir

What do you think ?
