EEA:Nationally designated areas import
European Environment Agency has its data commercialy reusable.
Nationally designated areas (National - CDDA):
- http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/nationally-designated-areas-national-cdda-5 - shapefile named CDDA_v9_polygons.zip
Tag translations
CDDA comes with quite rich metadata. Following table shows proposal by Kozuch how to translate these tags into OSM, some are new tag proposals.
| Shapefile | OSM | comment |
|---|---|---|
| _SITE NAME_ | name | |
| _SITE CODE_ | eea:cdda:sitecode | |
| _PARENTISO_ | eea:cdda:parentiso | |
| _OBJECTID_ | eea:cdda:objectid | numbers objects of multipolygons starting with 0 |
| _YEAR_ | start_date | |
| _SITE AREA_ | area:ha | ha=hectare, units may vary in source shapefile depending on area/country |
| _ODESIGNATE_ | protection_title | |
| _DESIGNATE_ | protection_title:en | |
| _IUCNCAT_ | iucn_level | |
| - | source=EEA:CDDA2009 | |
| - | website=http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/EEA:Nationally_designated_areas_import | |
| - | protect_class | should be translated accordingly to the IUCN level or national level |
User:Kozuch
So far I used Quantum GIS (1.7.3) to make a selection from the original shapefile (through the "attribute table" and then click on dataset and "save selection as"). Then I used Merkaartor (0.17.2) to open/import SHP and export as OSM XML. Then open OSM XML in JOSM, do the tagging and import. JOSM made up to about 20000 nodes in one upload, but there were problems. Better use only few thousand nodes (lets say up to 5000) and select very small upload blocks (up to 50 nodes) or you might end up with failed import and neccessity of a revert, because the ways/relations are uploaded just in the end so you end up with a bunch of nodes that say nothing only.
Notes
- all imput data were simplified in JOSM with simplify-way.max-error=1
Known issues
- although shapefile in UTF-8, CZE(ch) data is missing some diacritics (special language characters)
