RABA-KGZ split scripts for OpenStreetMap import

Raba split for OpenStreetMap import

These scripts prepare the RABA-KGZ source shapefile into form suitable for import into OpenStreetMap, by performing these actions:

• Re-project source from Gauss-Krueger/D48 into EPSG:4326 (aka ETRS89, WGS84) using GeoCoordinateConverter
• Split the reprojected shapefile into smaller 2x3 km sections as defined in split grid, manage-able for import
• Dissolve (join) neighboring polygons of same type into one
• Tag the splits with OpenStreetMap tags directly as defined in mapping table.
• Hack the produced shapefile to include 11-character fieldname and special character (namely "source:date" and "raba:id" OSM tags)
• Zip all the parts of shapefile for import using JOSM with opengeodata plugin
• Optional: use JOSM remote control via dedicated raba.openstreetmap.si website (source in git) to perform import

Requirements

• Source shapefile from http://rkg.gov.si/GERK/, eg. RABA_2015_10_31.RAR (600 MB)
• GeoCoordinateConverter (http://geocoordinateconverter.tk) was needed to convert old national D48 Gauss Krueger source before it was available in D96 Traverse Mercator
• ogr2ogr from GDAL suite
• bbe Binary block editor

Usage

1. Run the main script:

   ./prepareSource.sh

3. Wait an hour for the script to finish - for best results just put it in cron and enjoy .
