Yesterday, the french association camptocamp.org, which is dedicated to mountain sports, announced that it is giving OSM the right to digitalize data from its WMS server.

The Camptocamp.org database is currently worth 9750 summits, 1720 climbing sites, 1060 huts, 2100 parkings (=hiking starting points) around the world, and is being collaboratively edited by more than 20500 users. Since June 1st, all these data are made available under the terms of the CC BY-SA licence.

Thank’s to them for this great contribution ! ]]> http://www.camptocamp.com/en/blog/2009/07/camptocamporg-data-available-to-openstreetmap/feed/ 0 OpenStreetMap: several WMS data sources available for digitization in Switzerland http://www.camptocamp.com/en/blog/2009/06/openstreetmap-several-wms-data-sources-available-for-digitization-in-switzerland/ http://www.camptocamp.com/en/blog/2009/06/openstreetmap-several-wms-data-sources-available-for-digitization-in-switzerland/#comments Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:09:23 +0000 Claude Philipona http://www.camptocamp.com/en/blog/2009/06/openstreetmap-several-wms-data-sources-available-for-digitization-in-switzerland/ Lately, several Swiss data producers announced the availability of WMS server with high resolution data that can be used for open digitization of OpenStreetMap features:

  • "Système d’Information du Territoire Neuchâtelois- SITN": WMS server with high resolution aerial imagery of Canton de Neuchâtel is available and open for digitization of OSM features since 2009-06-04. More info .
  • "Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne – EPFL": WMS server with very detailed campus data and aerial imagery of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology – Lausanne – EPFL is available for digitization of OSM features since 2009-06-04. More info .
  • "Système d’Information du Territoire Genevois – SITG": WMS server with high resolution aerial imagery of Canton de Genève is available and open for digitization of OSM features since 2009-06-15. More info .

These high quality data source will certainly contribute to rapildy increase the quantity and quality of OSM data for those regions. Let’s hope that other donations and/or WMS access will be available in the future for other part of Switzerland.
