LINZ mainland import status
From OpenStreetMap Wiki
- The main LINZ strategy page for upload of New Zealand government supplies geodata.
- The current import status of the LINZ Mainland layers
- Remember to update the LINZ Revisit List if there are post import cleanups to do.
- To sort this table by both geometry type and import status, first sort by the secondary sort column, and then by the primary sort column.

Upload steps
All-at-once uploads
- Do tag matching and download .osm files from the LINZ-2-OSM web app (for access ask Rob C.)
- Check for pre-existing features at TagWatch
- Download any existing OSM data for comparison using Xapi:
URL="http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6" BBOX="157.5,-59.0,179.9,-25.5" wget -O existing_data.osm "$URL/*[natural|waterway=waterfall][bbox=$BBOX]"
- Or download the latest NZ planet.osm file from Cloudmade. (20mb as of Dec 2010)
- Use the following python script to find existing.osm vs. linz2osm.osm features within 100m of each other:
- Open .osm file in JOSM, check for problems with the Validator plugin
- Notify the NZOpenGIS mailing list of your intentions, leave comments open for a few days before proceeding.
- Upload it as the "LINZ Data Upload" user (for access ask Glen B.)
- See the LINZ/Howto page for cleaning and upload tips.
- If uploading polygons take care to also upload the associated multipolygon relations.
- Mark its status in the table below as "Imported"
- note "uploaded by $YOU for the mainland $DATE in changeset $CHANGESET" in the LINZ-2-OSM web app
- Revisit duplicates found by the python script. It will give you a list of URLs to visit, maybe tick the "[ ] Data" box in the OpenLayers top-right (+) menu. If the list is long you might post to the NZOpenGIS mailing list asking for help.
- To help add light to the paper-trail, make any merging edits using your personal OSM user account.
- Add the tag LINZ:merged=V16 for features in the LINZ upload which are melded with existing OSM data (merge any tags/try not to lose any information).
- Without a source=GPS tag on the existing features don't assume that either one or the other is the correct one. If you are not local with a GPS, viewing with satellite backdrop imagery in Merkaartor or JOSM can help. Toolserver has another good comparator resource.
- Add the tag LINZ:corrected=V16 for features where the LINZ data was just plain wrong, and correct them in OSM. (probably don't bother if you've just moved an object by a few metres, or used cartographer's license in a minor cleanup, maybe add a LINZ:modified=V16 tag if it has moved more than a few meters but less than a glaring error)
- If the feature no longer exists (e.g. a boatramp which has been washed away due to river bank erosion), write down it's OSM feature ID then delete it from OSM. The history log will keep a record of the deletion. Then just to make things easy please add the feature ID and a description of the problem to the LINZ upstream notification list wiki page with the idea that it will get reported back to them there.
- If you still aren't sure, add a fixme=verify_position or some other fixme= tag to flag to others that this item is a bit dubious.
- Add the tag LINZ:merged=V16 for features in the LINZ upload which are melded with existing OSM data (merge any tags/try not to lose any information).
- Change its status in the table below to "Imported and merged" if adjustments were needed, or "Imported and checked" if no adjustments were needed.
- Notify the NZOpenGIS mailing list with what you've done, what you learned, and what problems you encountered.
- Do not proceed to the next layer until the previous one is complete.
By-region uploads
- the methods and tools for this are a work in progress..
