(<a href="/wiki/Talk:Potential_datasources" title="Talk:Potential datasources">Discussion</a>)</div></div> <p>The following is a list of <b>potential datasources</b>. Some of these are already in use, or have been imported fully. Others are under investigation, and some have been rejected (details of rejections are on here too). There are basically two criteria: </p> <ul><li><b>Licenses</b> - We are only interested in 'free' data. In fact we must be able to release their data with our <a class="external text" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap License</a>. <b>This means it's OK to use Public Domain data</b>; for other sources, please check license compatibility. (Overview: <a href="/wiki/Category:Data_Licenses" title="Category:Data Licenses">Category:Data Licenses</a>)</li></ul> <ul><li><b>Accuracy/Quality</b> - All GIS data is limited in terms of <a href="/wiki/Accuracy" title="Accuracy">accuracy</a> and coverage of features. Some datasources are very basic. Because of our wiki style map building approach, this isn't necessarily a problem. We could import it anyway, and improve it later. However there are limits to this reasoning, it does for example require active OSM community members for the area affected. Also in areas where we already have superior coverage through other means, we will not be interested in importing lower quality data. For example a low accuracy map of the main roads of London, is actually useless to us, whereas similar coverage of an unmapped city would be useful.</li></ul> <p>With these criteria in mind, look at the following, see if there are license issues and if they are useful to us or we can collaborate, and mail the <a href="/wiki/Mailing_lists" title="Mailing lists">Mailing lists</a> with results. </p><p>Listing datasources here is only the first stage in a careful investigation/planning process for <a href="/wiki/Imports" class="mw-redirect" title="Imports">imports</a>.
