[Talk-ca] Bus maps for Ottawa

[Pierre Béland]

Tom 

this Ottawa license seems compatible with ODbl. Then, I think that the data can be imported. You can add to the relation the tag source=City of Ottawa.


I have not done any yet, but it does not seem to complicate.  Wiki pages should give godd information. Also, looking at some Bus relations should help to understand the content.

In the relation, you enter nodes for every stop. From discussions I have seen elsewhere,  I think that It is important to control the quality of such data before you import.

>I was looking at Helsinki for solutions to a lane mapping problem (how to map left turn lanes), and noticed they have bus routes specified as relations on the road segments. This put me in mind of Ottawa. My first thought was to check on copyright issues. I learned that Ottawa has an open data policy (catalogue at http://www.ottawa.ca/en/city_hall/statisticsdata/opendata/info/index.htm). Talk about an embarrassment of riches! Now I just have to put the tools together to do bulk mapping to OSM.
