[Talk-ht] Haiti Admin Boundaries Shapefile updated

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    due to repeated requests (hello Vincent ;-) I have updated the admin 
boundaries shapefile on

http://labs.geofabrik.de/haiti/boundary-shapefile/

It countains proper polygons for all boundary=administrative objects 
(whether closed ways or closed multipolygons), including the national 
borders of Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Where mapped in OSM, objects have the following attributes
   * name
   * population
   * admin_level
   * pcode_2 and pcode_3 [*]
   * population
   * source

The shape file does not contain such administrative areas that have an 
invalid geometry in the current OSM data set. There are 26 such areas. 
25 of them are not properly closed (the relation contains a number of 
ways but they do not form a ring):

387039 387042 387712 387713 388823 388824 389326 389507 389508 389509 
389511 390451 390452 391193 391195 391199 391700 391925 392105 392148 
393396 393437 394519 394521 394522

It would be good if someone who is more involved than myself could check 
these out and perhaps repair them.

Additionally, relation 389621 has an invalid geometry (most likely some 
of its member ways intersect somewhere).

I can re-create the shape file at any time, but some manual work is 
involved that's why I cannot currently offer it as part of the 5-minute 
update cycle.

Bye
Frederik
