[Talk-nz] LINZ data import: JOSM and a question about tagging

[Kyle Hensel]

Hi Mike,

You’re right, I must have misread the wiki pages...
waterway=canal definitely seems more appropriate

Hi Kyle,

Wouldn't those waterways be tagged as waterway=canal?
"Water races" seem by OSM definition to be canals:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:waterway%3Dcanal

The usage=irrigation tag seems appropriate.

Ditches seem to be defined as waterways designed to drain land.

Regards,
Mike

Hi all,

It’s now possible to use JOSM to import LINZ data, in addition to our modified version of RapiD (https://osm-nz.github.io/RapiD)
For those interested in using JOSM, you can download chunks of data from this page: https://osm-nz.github.io/josm

Separately, does anyone have suggestions on how to tag ‘Water Races’ – they are unique to Otago/Canterbury.
see https://www.selwyn.govt.nz/services/water/water-race for background info.
You can see the data here: https://koordinates.com/from/data.linz.govt.nz/layer/50369/

My initial thinking was:
waterway=ditch
usage=irrigation
description=water race

Additionally, any ideas for how to tag Redoubts? (there are only 32 in total, see https://koordinates.com/from/data.linz.govt.nz/layer/50322/).
Perhaps:
historic=archaeological_site
site_type=fortification
historic:civilization=colonialism ?
