[OSM-talk-nl] Fwd: European urban landuse vector data

[Frank Steggink]

Hoi,

Zie mijn onderstaande post naar de imports lijst.

Deze data voegt m.i. niet zoveel toe aan Nederland, aangezien de landuse 
nagenoeg "compleet" is, maar we zouden wel wat hiervan kunnen gebruiken 
om de residential en industrial gebieden te upgraden. De data heb ik nog 
niet in detail bekeken, maar het moet geen punt zijn om de data te 
herprojecteren en converteren naar OSM. Wellicht moeten we nog shapes 
gaan mergen (evt. met een kleine buffer), zodat er aaneengesloten 
gebieden ontstaan. Zie de bijgesloten PDF's in de datasets voor een 
eerste blik.

Hoe denken jullie hierover?

Groeten,

Frank

Hi,

I just noticed this post about European urban landuse vector data:
http://blog.weogeo.com/2011/06/21/data-blog-european-urban-land-use-vectors/

It might be interesting for local communities within the EU who are
seeking to improve landuse data in OSM in their area.
This data can be downloaded here:
http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/urban-atlas

The license seems to be compatible with CC-BY-SA or the ODbL, as long as
the source is attributed:

Rights:
    EEA standard re-use policy: unless otherwise indicated, re-use of
    content on the EEA website for commercial or non-commercial purposes
    is permitted free of charge, provided that the source is
    acknowledged (http://www.eea.europa.eu/legal/copyright). Copyright

However, before anyone proceeds importing this in OSM, it might be
better to check with the EEA if their license is indeed compatible. And
of course it is _always_ a good idea to check with your fellow local
community members first, to see if this really adds value to OSM!

Regards,

Frank
