[OSM-talk-be] TEC & Open Data: let's start !

[Julien Fastré]

Hi !

Good news ! (Alleluia :-) )

The TEC is publishing now data under Open Data Licence !

On geoportail.wallonie.be, the data "Poteaux d'arrêts" (bus stop) and
"ligne de bus" (bus lines) are now under CC BY-SA 4.0 international
Licence :

http://geoportail.wallonie.be/geocatalogue?mdUUID=47676af7-aab3-4d2e-9c9c-cd86e7ad7241
http://geoportail.wallonie.be/geocatalogue?mdUUID=a5dc5bc7-3c37-4783-9c41-27ce2f83f3ae

The schedules are also available here :
http://opendata.awt.be/organization/groupe-tec (in a "Belgian format"...
glups... I still haven't opened it yet).

We are now allowed to import those data's in OSM.

Please, do not batch import ! I saw in the previous version a lot of
mistakes, comparing data to Bing! Imagery and also to Walloon's
orthophotos. We may be more accurate than the original data :-)

At Champs Libres, we are planning to provide an online "comparator" from
TEC data to OSM data, using the old and new public transport schema.
This will allow to see where are missing bus stops, where they are
mispelled, etc. We will do it during May.
