[Talk-us] Address push part deux: tracking licenses, notifications, etc.

[Jeff Meyer]

Ignoring right / wrong methods to managing the actual importing of
importing for a moment, what's the right / wrong way to *track various
permissions* received for use of data?

(1) Data use / contributor tracking?

For example, I've added Seattle's permission to use their data (yay! -
kudos to Cliff Snow for getting this rolling) at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#City_of_Seattle.2C_Washington
.

However, this page could quickly grow to be pretty unwieldy if it had
statements like this for every municipality or agency that grants
permission.

(2) Permission e-mail archival?

I'd like to make sure the thread attached at the bottom of this email is
saved in the case of any questions about permissions.

(3) Source crediting in imports?

Ok... this is sort of an import question, but how do we / should we credit
each imported item with a link or tie to the appropriate use statement /
contributor? If so, is there a convention for this tagging? e.g.
source:address="City of Seattle Master Address File"; source:address_url:"
data.seattle.gov"; source:address_file:"
https://data.seattle.gov/dataset/Master-Address-File/3vsa-a788"
I realize this could be stored in a changeset marking, but that seems
fairly obscure & more difficult to find for the average bear than just
tagging the various points, etc.

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

Thanks for your inquiry and by posting the Source Data disclaimer, you will
meet the requirements (Seattle’s, not King County’s by the way). I’m
familiar with the Open Street Map project (a GIS guy myself) as well as an
Open Data advocate, so go for it! Let me know when you’ve added the data so
I can take a look!

Thanks and good luck!*

Subject: Terms of Use of Seattle City Open Data for OpenStreetMaps
To: open.data at seattle.gov


Hi -

I'm writing to ask about the specifics of the terms of use of Seattle's
open data found at: data.seattle.gov.

The OpenStreetMap community is currently making a push to add addressing
information to its maps. (For example, here's part of Leschi:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=47.596021&lon=-122.289757&zoom=18&layers=M
).
I'd like to import the Seattle address information from seattle.gov into
the OpenStreetMap system, but I want to be sure to comply with the
requirement to include the appropriate disclaimers (if necessary).

Other municipalities and governments in the United States have agreed to
have OpenStreetMap include disclaimers like this on this page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors#United_States

Would placing Seattle's disclaimer on this page meet Seattle's requirements
for reuse of King County's source data?

Thanks,
Jeff
