Import Data
Background
Data source site: Dare County GIS office provided the building footprints and address shapefiles via request. Greg Ball (gregb@darenc.com), Dare County GIS Coordinator happily provided the info for the specific purpose of importing into OSM.
Building Footprints were developed from local 2016 imagery by Dare County GIS Staff.
ODbL Compliance verified: yes
OSM Data Files
Import Type
This import will be done in sections (block groups) with JOSM
Data Preparation
See GitHub Repo for additional details on this import
Changeset Tags
I will set source= Dare County GIS
Conflation
Since the OSM data is being hand-imported in manageable chunks, conflation with existing data will be handled manually in JOSM. I will prefer existing OSM data and tags over the imported data and will try to apply addressing tags from the Dare County data as correctly as possible.
