Protected Areas (National Parks etc) of Queensland
Queensland Government Information Service has datasets containing National Park, Wetland areas and State Forests are available for the Qld State Govt under a CCBY3 licence. Importing these would improve the Qld map area, (so long as duplicate nodes and clashes with pre-existing data could be resolved):
Status
Manual upload of parks was completed by user QldProtectedAreas over a 3 week period March 2011.
Licence
- Licence is CCBY3 - (they are hard to link to.. but here is the boundaries dataset licence and metadata: http://goo.gl/OBDr8
- licence details here - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/deed.en
- Attribution Required "State of Queensland (Department of Environment and Resource Management) 2010. Updated data available at http://dds.information.qld.gov.au/dds/"
- N.B. Attribution required has a cedilla or something as first character - to comply we'd need to put this in as well? It's probably a copyright symbol in unicode that got mangled converting to 7 bit ascii... actual text says:
¿ State of Queensland (Department of Environment and Resource Management) 2010. Updated data available at http://dds.information.qld.gov.au/dds/.
Previous imports
There has been previous work done on a similar dataset by James Livingston on data from data.gov.au documented here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Data.australia.gov.au/Queensland#Queensland_Wetlands_Mapping_.E2.80.93_Estates_Layer_including_National_Parks.2C_Conservation_Areas_.26_Forest_Reserves Currently trying to ascertain if this has stalled and can continue without upsetting anybody Chas66 02:37, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Getting the data
- Go to http://dds.information.qld.gov.au/dds/
- leave the search page at defaults, save for third to last text box on the page - enter the search term "protected areas" with the quotes.
- Search result page should be ~3 datasets.
- Select SHP file version or whatever works best with modern import tooling.
- Add to your cart (they are zero cost, so no financial outlay required)
- Checkout and email with download link should arrive.
Dataset of interest
- Protected Areas of Queensland - Boundaries
- This is most likely to be the most useful to import?
Tag Suggestions
Tagging guidelines at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#.28National.2C_State_etc.29_Parks are incomplete. Draft below:
Static
- leisure=nature_reserve
- source=Protected Areas of Queensland - Boundaries Dated: 30-09-2010
- attribution=State of Queensland (Department of Environment and Resource Management) 2010. Updated data available at http://dds.information.qld.gov.au/dds/
- governance_type=government_managed
- site_ownership=province
- source_ref=http://dds.information.qld.gov.au/dds/
- website=http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/parks_and_forests
Derived
- name=ESTATENAME
- start_date==CURGAZDATE
- Date format conversion required from yyyy/mm/dd to yyyy-mm-dd
- boundary=national_park or boundary=protected_area
- if EST_TYPE=NP, NC, NS, or NY then national_park else protected_area
- natural=forest
- if EST_TYPE=SF or TR (State Forest or Timber Reserve)
- protection_title=(derived from EST_TYPE)
- from Australia rows from table at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area#protect_id_values_for_specific_countries )
- One of National Parks Scientific, National Park, National Park (Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land), National Park Recovery, Conservation Park, Resources Reserve, Forest Reserve, State Forest or Timber Reserve.
- protect_id=(derived from EST_TYPE)
- from Australia rows from table at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area#protect_id_values_for_specific_countries )
ESTTYPE lookup table
These are the distinct values in the dataset for ESTTYPE column, along with in what the potect_id and protection_title values should be:
- ESTTYPE - protect_id - protection_title
"" - - *Do Not Import/Null data row* CP - 3 - Conservation Park FR - 6 - Forest Reserve NC - 2 - National Park (Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land) NP - 2 - National Park NS - 2 - National Parks Scientific NY - 2 - National Park Recovery RR - 6 - Resources Reserve SF - 6 - State Forest TR - 6 - Timber Reserve
Import Software Selection
Software is needed to import the shp, one of these probably: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Software Ogr2osm.py translation file has been drafted to support the above tags and placed on the TranslationDraft page. The result is then run through JOSM simplify tool.
Import methodology - manual steps
Upload park by park relations and/or ways: Following the Canvec directions here: http://scanningpages.wordpress.com/2010/08/08/openstreetmap-canvec-importing/
Import considerations
- How to manage duplicate nodes resulting from import
- manual clanup in JOSM with validator?
- Pre-exisiting areas, detect and skip or update?
- Slice imports into park sized OSM files
- This will allow people to monitor and modify on a park by park upload basis
- Simplification of nodes - some parks have way to many nodes - assuming that JOSM can simplify them all
- Park boundaries are same as admin boundaries in many cases - conversion to relations?
Sample Park Import and OSM file
There's an example of a sample park I have imported here http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-17.6307&lon=139.7809&zoom=13&layers=M
The OSM file generated with the current translation is here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/446994/simplifiedQldParks.osm.zip
