[OSM-talk-be] Wallonia to publish data from OSM

[Julien Fastré]

Hi,

Yesterday, I had a technical meeting with SPW about publishing data on
their geoportail (http://geportail.wallonie.be).

They are going to test a way to export data from osm database with their
platform and publish it on their portail. I will write the metadata
information (if someone is interested in participating, please raise
your hand :-) ).

I think it's a good news that they are ready to dive into manipulating
osm data. I am in backup if they encounter difficulties.

The first dataset will be a list of amenities (objects with tag
amenity=*). It will be available under a csv and shapefile format, and
should be updated every week.

The dataset should be published in late September.

Regards,
Julien Fastré
