[Talk-ca] CanVec Building Import

[Michel Gilbert]

Hi everyone,

Do you know the number of buildings in CanVec ? There are 3 085 966 point
buildings and  152 556 polygon buildings !  May as well to start now.

I prepared my FME script to import them. I used the CanVec:Buildings and
structures feature table wiki page to tag them. Sam made a very good job to
map Canvec attributes as OSM tag. I made minor changes to harmonize point
and polygon tagging. The result may be viewed
here<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=48.8319&lon=-64.4728&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF>.
Basically the tags look like this:

<way id="-27197" action="modify" visible="true" user="pythagore-CanVec">
  <nd ref="-4246"/>
  <nd ref="-4251"/>
  <nd ref="-4250"/>
  <nd ref="-4249"/>
  <nd ref="-4248"/>
  <nd ref="-4247"/>
  <nd ref="-4246"/>
  <tag k="created_by" v="FME-CanvecBuildings2OSM"/>
  <tag k="building" v="yes"/>
  <tag k="canvec:uuid" v="31345bfa55dd42e9a851b7e8be68c911"/>
  <tag k="canvec:source" v="Buildings_and_Structures_3.0"/>
  <tag k="canvec:datasetName" v="021E05"/>
  <tag k="amenity" v="police"/>
</way>

Feel free to comment. It is appreciated.

Michel
