Hartford Import
About

Import useful data from Hartford's GIS portal, and, if possible, incorporate future updates to the data sets.
Schedule
Fall 2017 to Spring 2018
- Import building footprints and address points

Data Preparation
Existing buildings will be compared and replaced if the imported footprint is superior and relevant tags will be migrated to imported buildings.
Tagging Plans
Street addresses will be standardized into OSM addr:street and addr:housenumber tags. Buildings will be tagged using building=yes

Data Transformation
- Data will be converted from .shp to .osm files
- .osm files will be broken down into tiles
- Each tile of OSM data will be manually merged with existing data
Data Merge Workflow
Team Approach
Solo. I'll be reaching out to see if I can gather help using the US tasking manager.

Imported buildings will be verified using Bing aerial imagery.
Workflow
Converting shapefiles with JOSM, simplifying, verifying data in JOSM with existing areas and imagery, uploading, reverting with JOSM revert script if there are problems
