Hi!
I have a KML file including the west bank A/B/C areas borders, but much accurate than those found in OSM right now. Can someone help me import the KML file to the map, and replace the existing borders?
I’ll be happy to help with this. Creating the multi-polygons is tricky because of the many nodes were 4 areas meet, usually that’s 2 areas of each kind in an X-like geometry.
Can you elaborate on the source of the data? We need to make sure it if free from licensing and copyright restrictions.
The source is team of geomolg (portal for spatial information in Palestine), operated by Palestinian ministry of local goverment (MoLG). The portal site is http://geomolg.ps. The ministry of local goverment site is http://www.molg.pna.ps
I working with them sometimes (I coordinating between the Israeli authorities and them) so I asked for permission to use it. They digitized the A/B/C borders from the Oslo agreement original maps.
P.S. You will probably see inside the file a link to www.govmap.gov.il is it because we got the original hard-copy map of Oslo agreement (you can see it here) from Israel Mapping Center. But no worry about it beacuse they only used the map grid for digization of the A/B/C borders (that are not copyrighted) and didnt use the copyrighted map at all.
The admin_level=8 boundary for the city of Hebron was heavily based on the previous definitions of the Oslo Agreements Areas. I had a hard time figuring out what should be done with it, so I defined it as the union of the H1 and H2 areas.
Since you are the original creator of this relation, I’d appreciate of you could review its new definition and fix it, if needed.
