Import Data

Background

Data source site: Hampton GIS office provided the building footprints and address shapeless for the explicit purpose to import into OSM
ODbL Compliance verified: yes

OSM Data Files

Initial pass at OSM files here.

Import Type

This import will be done in sections (block groups) with JOSM

Data Preparation

See GitHub Repo for additional details on this import -> Hampton, VA Import Repo

Changeset Tags

I will set source=Hampton GIS Office

Conflation

Since the OSM data is being hand-imported in manageable chunks, conflation with existing data will be handled manually in JOSM. I will prefer existing OSM data and tags over the imported data and will try to apply addressing tags from the Hampton data as correctly as possible.
