Hi talk-es list,

First, apologies for my message in english.

We are preparing in France an import of the Corine Land Cover (CLC)
landuse polygones. This dataset is generated by all european states
but the French version has a licence compatible with OSM.

The original dataset is delivered as shapefiles and use a standardized
"nomenclature" of 36 classes. We decided to migrate most of them (not
all) following this translation table to OSM tags:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Corine_Land_Cover/Tagging_scheme

Before the import, we suppressed all CLC polygons overlapping more
than 2% with the existing ones in OSM. The problem is that the dataset
itself is going a bit onto neighbourhood countries including Spain
(a rough estimate is about max. 10km).
So we would like to know if the Spanish community is interested by
these polygones or if we have to perform a cut-off exactly on the
border.

To have a preview about the import, we generated a mashup with the
current Mapnik and a special overlay with the CLC polygones as they
will be after the import.
Select/deselect the last overlay "corine-import" to see what will be imported.
