Aboriginal Lands data is an interesting dataset, because in<BR>> Canada's
CanVec data it's only available as points, but through a<BR>> separate

geobase, just as the National protected areas are available in<BR>> a

Australia have a similar situation? If so, can someone provide<BR>> links
to locations of other datasets?<BR>><BR>><BR>> Thanks,<BR>>
Sam<BR>><BR>><BR>> p.s. im sending this to the outer osgeo mailing

I am currently (just about done) going through the Geoscience<BR>>>
Austrailia pdf user guide, which lists all of the map features for
in<BR>>> the 'Geodata Topo 250k Series 3 User
Guide'<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>> There are about 159 unique map
features, divided into 10 themes.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>> Whats
interesting is to compare these features with the Natural<BR>>>
Resources Canada CanVec dataset (which is also at 250k scale).<BR>>>
There are many similarities (some differnces) in the
datasets.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>> I am developing a Universal
tagging Schema (I call 'SchemaTroll 2.01')<BR>>> where it can look at
the map features from Datasets around the world<BR>>> (including the
Garmin defaults) and cross-reference it with the<BR>>> 'free-tagging
system' of OpenStreetMap.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>> So i am
wondering if anyone has aldready examined these 159 features<BR>>> and
selected an appropriate estimated equivelent to OpenStreetMap<BR>>>
tags.<BR>>><BR>>><BR>>> Thanks,<BR>>> Sam
