Using the data

  • Most geolocated datasets on data.gov.in is not of sufficient quality to directly import into OSM. They are suitable to be used as an additional reference to locate missing data by correlating with local knowledge, satellite imagery or other online sources. Common ways to use a dataset as a source in OSM:
    • Create a microtask project to verify and map missing data using maproulette
    • Create a background data reference layer that can be used in JOSM/iD
  • Add attribution to data.gov.in as per the usage policy to your changesets where the data has been used. Example: source=India_OpenData:https://data.gov.in/resources/nin-health-faclities-geo-code-and-additional-parameters-updated-till-last-month

ISRO/NRSC Landuse Imagery

The National Remote Sensing Center (India) has made available landuse/landcover (LULC) satellite imagery of the resolution 1:1Million in the public domain [1]. A wms service is available to access the imagery and use it for tracing in JOSM.

  • NRSC disowns responsibility for issues emerging due to use of data for commercial and legal purposes.
  • 1:1 M products and Web Map Services (WMS) are provided in public domain for wider use as a primary information product.
  • Users must invariably acknowledge the data and web service source and use. All the copyright lies with NRSC, ISRO for data and web services.
  • The source of the data and service will be mentioned as BHOOSAMPADA, NRSC (ISRO).

WMS details

Usage

You can use the GetMap link in JOSM to download the imagery. Goto JOSM>Edit>Preferences>WMS and add the link to the wms server list. Now you can download the imagery using the imagery menu. Since the resolution of the imagery is very low, you will need to zoom out to over 1inch:20km mark to download the tiles, on higher zoom you will see "imagery not available tiles".

Uses

The LULC imagery can be used to extract forestcover, water bodies, wetland and cultivation areas. It can also come in handy for identifying location of towns and other builtup areas.

Survey of India (SOI)

-> Both freely available data like admin and village boundaries, and priced datasets are available here in the same shopping cart like flow. (If free data only selected, then you still have to "place an order", but won't have to pay and will be guided to download.)

Usage Policy

  1. Geospatial Data Use Guidelines

"xiii. For political Maps of India of any scale including national, state and other boundaries, SoI published maps or SoI digital boundary data are the standard to be used, which shall be made easily downloadable for free and their digital display and printing shall be permissible. Others may publish such maps that adhere to these standards."
