Data for Import in Athens-Clarke County

Hi Deane, I see that you have helped with setting up the arcGIS assisted imported of building outlines and address for John's Creek in Georgia. I am currently working on a similar data import for addresses in Athens-Clarke County. I have contacted the county GIS office and they indicated that the data they have available on the open-data portal is available for use (not sure if this applicable for use with ESRI in ArcGIS).

If you don't mind me asking, how would I begin this import process? At the moment, I am just working on modifying and transforming the address .csv data set by hand (see my import page here, but I would love for this integration with the MapwithAI functionality that JOSM and the iD editor of OSM supports.

If you any idea of where I could start, I would love to help connect the right people or potentially do some of the data cleaning myself. Again, thank you for your time and I look forward to your response! - Ian --IanVG (talk) 04:17, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ian, thanks for the note. I am glad to hear that you are interested in adding some address data for Athens-Clark County. It should be quite possible to do the integration of this data with OSM using the MapWithAI tools in JOSM and RapiD. We can coordinate some details via email if you like but the basic steps would be to:

1. Prepare the data in OSM friendly format (e.g. OSM address tags). 2. Publish the processed data as an ArcGIS feature layer. 3. Share the data (and feature layer) for review by the OSM community. 4. Curate the data into the ArcGIS Online group accessed by JOSM and RapiD.

If you can support the work for #1 and #3, I can help you with #2 and #4. For #2, we can either publish the data for you or we can show you how it can be done, which may be useful for other data you'd like to add in the future. Feel free to reach out to me and the team via email at osm@esri.com if you want to coordinate more details directly. --Dkensok (talk) 18:14, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Missing file information

Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.

Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.

Are you the creator of image File:Flagstaff address import.png ?

Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?

Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ" or "this is map generated from OpenStreetMap data and SRTM data" or "map generated from OSM data and only OSM data" or "This is my work based on file -link-to-page-with-that-file-and-its-licensing-info-" or "used file downloaded from internet to create it, no idea which one".

Doing this would be already very useful.

Licensing - photos

In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?

In case where it is a photo you (except relatively rare cases) author can make it available under a specific free license.

Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?

Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?

If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.

You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified March 2022}} from the file page.

Licensing - other images

If it is not a photo situation gets a bit more complicated.

See Drafts/Media file license chart that may help.

note: if you took screenshot of program made by someone else, screenshot of OSM editor with aerial imagery: then licensing of that elements also matter and you are not a sole author.

note: If you downloaded image made by someone else then you are NOT the author.

Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.

Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.

Help

Feel free to ask for help if you need it - you can do it for example by asking on Talk:Wiki: new topic.

Please ask there if you are not sure what is the proper next step. Especially when you are uploading files that are not your own work or are derivative work (screenshots, composition of images, using aerial imagery etc).

If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.

(sorry if I missed something that already states license and source: I am looking through over 20 000 files and fixing obvious cases on my own, in other I ask people who upladed files, but it is possible that I missed something - in such case also please answer)
