[NUUG fiksgatami] [CASE:10366] Present administrative borders in Norway as polygons in Shape file?

[CloudMade Support]

Hello guys,


Generation of our downloads in general takes 3-4 days if we'll add relations to them it won't complete in a month time so for now it's impossible.


As a solution I can ask our developer to create data with relations only for Norway, but it can be done only in to weeks, because now he's on vacation. Can you wait?


With best regards,
Pavel

Hi.  I had a look at the shape file export of OpenStreetmap.org 
available from 
/downloads.cloudmade.com/europe/norway/norway.shapefiles.zip >, 
to see if it could be used to get the internal borders of Norway 
(kommune and fylke).  The administrative borders are present, but only 
as lines and not as polygons. 
 
Would it be possible to adjust the export to present these borders as 
polygons? 
 
I have checked in OpenStreetmap.org, and there the admin borders are 
present as relations, so the raw material should be present.  The 
Shape file export seem to only export the individual lines, ignoring 
the borders that are drawn as rivers, and not group the complete 
border as a polygon. 
 
The reason I am asking is that we need the admin borders for use by a 
Norwegian version of FixMyStreet, and importing it from 
OpenStreetmap.org seem like a good idea.  The FixMyStreet source 
currently handle shape files, so finding a shape file export of OSM 
with the adminstrative borders seem like a good idea.

Happy hacking,
