[Talk-ca] Open Database of Buildings / Base de données ouvertes sur les immeubles

[Alasia, Alessandro (STATCAN)]

Hi Janes, John and all,

Sure, it will be up to the OSM community to discuss, decide and organize as deemed appropriate.

The data are out there, released under one single open data lincese! (Open Government License - Canada<https://open.canada.ca/en/open-government-licence-canada>)

My hope is that much more will follow soon!

Regards,
Alessandro

I think on the OSM side we probably need to think this one through and get organised.

In Ottawa on the first import we went through all the steps to do the import including getting agreement with the local mappers and we were very fortunate in having an organised team of competent local mappers to do the import.

It went reasonably smoothly but there were some questions asked and one or two buildings were probably remapped which raised some eyebrows.  Since its been released under the federal government open data license licensing isn't an issue.

If we do nothing on the organising side then we will almost certainly get individuals importing Open Data in an ad hoc mode as has been happening in Nova Scotia recently.

My feeling is it would be better if mappers in the major cities / regions such as Toronto and Montreal took the lead for their cities / regions.

Cheerio John

Open Building Data: an exploratory initiative
This exploratory initiative aims at enhancing the use and harmonization of open building data from government sources for the purpose of contributing to the creation of a complete, comprehensive and open database of buildings in Canada. The outcome of this exploratory work is a first version of the Open Database of Buildings<https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/open-building-data/open-database> (ODB), a centralized and harmonized repository of building data made available under the Open Government License - Canada<https://open.canada.ca/en/open-government-licence-canada>.
This initiative originates from insights taken from the Statistics Canada pilot project<https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/open-building-data/crowdsourcing-osm> on data crowdsourcing, which used OpenStreetMap as a platform for integrating data on building footprints. In addition to the possible benefits of crowdsourcing, that project highlighted the potential of integrating open data from municipal, regional, and provincial governments to meet the needs of official statistics.
In its current version (version 1.0), the ODB contains approximately 4.3 million building footprints.

Données ouvertes sur les immeubles : une initiative exploratoire
Cette initiative exploratoire vise à accroître l'utilisation et l'harmonisation des données ouvertes sur les immeubles provenant de sources gouvernementales en vue de contribuer à la mise en œuvre d'une base de données complète, exhaustive et ouverte sur les immeubles au Canada. Le travail exploratoire a mené à la création d'une première version de la Base de données ouverte sur les immeubles<https://www.statcan.gc.ca/fra/donnees-ouvertes-immeubles/base-donnees-ouvertes> (BDOI), un référentiel centralisé et harmonisé des données sur les immeubles rendu public en vertu de la Licence du gouvernement ouvert du Canada<https://ouvert.canada.ca/fr/licence-du-gouvernement-ouvert-canada>.
Cette initiative est fondée sur les leçons tirées du projet pilote de Statistique Canada<https://www.statcan.gc.ca/fra/donnees-ouvertes-immeubles/approche-participative-osm> sur l'approche participative en matière de données, qui avait employé OpenStreetMap comme plateforme d'intégration des données sur les empreintes d'immeubles. En plus des avantages potentiels de l'approche participative, ce projet a mis en lumière la possibilité d'intégrer les données ouvertes des administrations publiques municipales, régionales et provinciales afin de répondre aux besoins en matière de statistiques officielles.
Dans sa version actuelle (version 1.0), la BDOI contient environ 4,3 millions d'empreintes d'immeubles.
