Anyone who uploads 10000 houses in one day does a bulk import.

Upload 100 houses and I'm prepared to believe you when you say it has 
all been carefully "integrated" and checked with local knowledge and 
aerial imagery.

But 10000 houses? Show me the brain that has enough "local knowledge" to 
individually verify them, or show me the mapper who compares them 
against aerial imagery. You may call it "integrating", but uploading 
10000 houses is 99,9% cadastre, 0,1% survey/local knowledge/aerial 
image/whatever.

There are many aspects about the French Cadastre import that can be 
discussed. But the fact that it is an import is crystal clear and I'm 
not prepared to discuss that any further.

Bye
Frederik
