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

[Julien Fastré]

Hi,

Second news about Wallonia / Service public de Wallonie.

From OpenBelgium we started a discussion with SPW.

1. They would be happy to publish data from OSM on the geoportail
(http://geoportail.wallonie.be) !

The idea is to help people to find data without having to learn how to
export them from OSM. They also have the will to support / help the
contributor's work, and let this work known by the public.

Currently, a first proposal of dataset to publish is a csv list of all
amenities in Wallonia. This would be useful for people who do not have
knowledge to export data from osm.

The second proposal which was discussed was vector data about walking
route (chemins balisés) (as here :
http://hikebikemap.org/?zoom=13&lat=50.46&lon=5.88). They have data
about Voies lentes
(http://geoportail.wallonie.be/cms/render/live/en/sites/geoportail/home/geocatalogue.html?mdUUID=ef6dff90-aa13-41af-acbd-39ed8af6800d),
they might add data about local routes on the geoportal, in a shapefile
or GML form.

Do you have other proposals which might be interesting to publish ? The
criteria are : provide useful things, or things we are proud to provide
(because it does not exists elsewhere, or because it is quite complete).

2. They are also thinking about using OSM tiles on WalOnMap. We will be
invited to a meeting about this topic soon.

Step by step, things goes progressing...
