MARIS

Information

The Mississippi Automated Resource Information System (from Mississippi code SEC. 57-13-23) was created and established which is the mechanism within state government for the storing, processing, extracting and disseminating of useful data and information relating to the state's resources.

Please! If you identify ways that this outline didn't meet the needs of your import (key evidence of this: tons of questions or alarm bells on mailing lists!), please return and fix this page.

MARIS is an import of The Mississippi Automated Resource Information System (from Mississippi code SEC. 57-13-23) covering select counties in Mississippi. The import is currently (as of 2022/11/14) at the planning stage.

Goals

The main goal is to get the address data that MARIS provides for select counties imported into OpenStreetMap.

The secondary goal is to add all WMA information from MARIS, the most up to date source for the boundaries.

Schedule

<nowiki>It's unclear when work can be started on this project, but if I'm the one who ends up importing it, it'll probably start after I finish my work in Florida. --SherbetS (talk) 16:56, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

OSM Data Files

Coming soon.

Import Type

Ideally I can generate a file that is ready to be fully imported all at once. The data doesn't appear to be updated regularly, so there is no need for a script.

Import will be performed using the generated file in the JOSM editor.

Data Preparation

Data Reduction & Simplification

Status by county. Green- available Orange- pending Red- no data

Data will be imported as address nodes.

Tagging Plans

Coming soon.

Changeset Tags

Coming soon.

Data Transformation

QGIS will be used to generate the files. JOSM will be used to convert files to .osm format.

Data Transformation Results

Coming soon.

Data Merge Workflow

Team Approach

The work can be approached as a team depending on other mappers willingness to participate.

Workflow

Importing will occur all at once after suitable files are created.

Conflation

A buffer around existing OSM address points will be created and data already on the map will be excluded from the MARIS imported data.

Mailing list will be notified after files are generated.
