Rio Branco, Acre/Addresses Import

Addresses Import describes a proposal being developed to import data provided by the Rio Branco City Council in Brazil. If you want to participate actively go to the import guide. If you want to know all the details of the proposal, read on. It is important to note that this import is semi-automated, due to the nature of the available data, that is, it is not possible to import the data all at once. This requires a higher user experience, taking more time to perform the import and the necessary adjustments for OSM upload. GoalThis project aims to manually conflate addresses provided by the city council. Schedule
Data to be importedData descriptionThe data is provided by the Rio Branco City Council. The data is available in SHP format. The data, originally, refers to the tax parcels, that contains many information such as address (the only data that matters for this import). The data is of a good quality (positioning and correctness). Data sourceThe data was provided by e-mail, but can be accessed through this link. License of access and useThe OSM community has explicit permission to use the Rio Branco City Council data, according to the user ThierryAJEAN and the city council e-mail exchanges. Size of the data setThe original shapefile is 34 MB, accounting for a total of 106,493 parcels (before any cleanup). Data conflationThis is the strategy to avoid conflicts with existing data:
Data importA more detailed tutorial is available on the Import Guide tab. However, given that there may be problems with imported data that require manual intervention, a manual import is planned with a review of each object to be imported. TeamWork planThe volume of data to be imported is very large. Therefore, it is proposed to carry out the work by regions, starting from the smallest to the largest. It is thought to carry out the division by neighborhoods, using the number of addresses as a parameter. More details are shown in the Work Plan tab. Regression planIf necessary, the changes will be undone using the JOSM/Plugins/Reverter plugin. AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank the contribution of the Rio Branco City Council in providing the data. We also thank Mr. Thierry Jean at Address for All for making the original file available to us. Finally, we acknowledge and appreciate the financial support given to us by OpenCage, which allowed us to carry out this import. |
