[Talk-ca] CanVec (part of GeoBase) Import update

[Michel Gilbert]

Hi Sam & all,

The idea is good to import building entities. I think we should concentrate
on polygon buildings where we'll get important buildings. To tag them you
should first prepare a map between osm tags and canvec building attribute.
Of cousre the most important attribute is building function. I imported few
buildings in Sherbrooke area (
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.37976&lon=-71.92381&zoom=15&layers=B000FTF).
I tagged the buildings like this:


   - k=building, v="university" or k=building, v="yes"
   - k=amenity, v="university"

I don't think Canvec has the amenity concept though.

Cheers,

Michel
