This file is a result of a merge between different OSM files that were
generated, and we merged the points that were redundant. We are getting
close to start the import.

The whole of France.

CLC (Corine Land Cover). It is an European Union dataset used to describe
how the lands are being used.


I did this page initially on the wiki. It is not finished as I don't have
the merging steps from Pieren the other benevolent contributor. The technic
I am using creates several OSM files as I am transforming them into SHP
files which is fixed field file format. The goal at some point is to finish
that ogr2ogr plugin for OSM to create a single OSM file directly.
I had written at some point a SQL script to merge points inside the database
using an Osmosis postgis schema.

I would like to point out that it was very much a community driven objects
with everybody bringing their expertise along the ways between defining the
tags that we would use, conversion programs, and import.
I am responsible for the initial SHP to final OSM file. I have created the
SQL scripts, and modified the existing polyshp2osm.py scripts to fit the new
requirements. I need to do a formal release of it one of those days.

Please note that I will write a formal email on how we proceeded once I have
consulted with everyone that were involved as it is only fair.
