[OSM-talk] Corine Land Cover becomes a potential OSM data source...

[Jaak Laineste (Nutiteq)]

Hello,
 are there separate general discussion lists or wiki regarding this
Corine land data import ? We just got hands on and permissions for our
local (Estonian) data, and some practical questions and ideas have
arisen.

 First of all strategy in general level: one option is to import and
tag everything (huge data amounts) like it is, another would be to
combine data categories (e.g. different types of forests) and do not
farmlands at all (I assume these are not rendered anyway on maps). I
estimate that the second approach could reduce data amounts up to 10
times.

>>The Corine Land Cover (CLC) is refering to a european programme
>>establishing a computerised inventory on land cover of the 27 EC
>>member states and other European countries, at an original scale of 1:
>>100 000, using 44 classes of the 3-level Corine nomenclature.
>>
>>It is produced by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and its member
>>countries and is based on the results of IMAGE2000, a satellite
>>imaging programme undertaken jointly by the Joint Research Centre of
>>the European Commision and the EEA .
>>
>>Until now, the terms of use did not allow commercial use unless the
>>Agency has expressly granted the right to do so. This was stopping any
>>possibility to use the land use data for OSM.
>>
>>But, beginning of 2009, french environment agency (IFEN) released the
>>new version of the dataset of year 2006, called CLC2006 with a newer
>>version of the terms of use which explicitely allow commercial use.
>>After some discussions with the french authorities responsible for the
>>programme in France, it has been clearly stated that the CLC2006 data
>>for France can be imported into OSM.
>>
>>During this discussion, it appeared that the same way of opening the
>>data access has been mentionned at the EEA committee. The ad hoc
>>committee in Q1/2009 suggested the following proposal for the new
>>terms of use:
>>
>>Use rights :
>>EEA is promoting the widest possible use of all data produced during
>>the project.
>>All core land cover data (national and European CLC 2000-2006 changes,
>>national and European CLC2006 and related metadata, high resolution
>>built-up areas, including degree of soil sealing, 2006 and high
>>resolution forest areas, 2006) will be made available free of charge
>>via the web, for non-commercial as well as commercial uses.
>>
>>But until it is released at EEA level, only specific national
>>programmes who officially adopted new terms of use compatible with the
>>OSM licence could take this data as a potential source.
>>
>>For France, we are now looking how we will be able to import some of
>>44 classes. We also created a wiki page trying to translate the CLC
>>nomenclature to OSM tags:
>>
>>http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Corine_Land_Cover
>>
>>I would like to see your comments about this translation table but
>>also more in general, about this data source. It is possible that some
>>other states already used CLC data for OSM, in which case, we would
>>appreciate if they could share their experience.
