get permission to use RLIS data

[darrell]

We need permission to use RLIS Data – specifically the taxlots table so we can join based on tlid.

If possible, we would like to get permission to use master_address, too, since the data distributed by the city only includes addresses inside the city, although the building data has info for the entire metro area.

Who wants to take point on this? Who at Metro should we ask? Just a warning that this could take several months (it did for TriMet) -- what's the plan if we can't get it?

I'm thinking Zac Christensen is the right person, yes?

I was just thinking about this today... I think he'd at least be a good place to start.— Sent from Mailbox for iPhone

@pdxmele do you want to take that, or should I?

[pdxmele]

If you can, great-- not sure when I can get to it :(

[geografa]

Ooooh @darrell - did you hear back from Metro?

[darrell]

@geografa I haven't e-mailed them yet. :(

[geografa]

@darrell cool. happy to help if there's something I can take on, draft, or review. :)

[darrell]

@geografa If you want to reach out directly... Zac.Christensen@oregonmetro dot gov

contacted. waiting for reply.

@darrell had a good chat with Zac Christensen at Metro. Here's the scoop:

Buildings

• Use building from RLIS Discovery site Data
• It's updated quarterly. Last was Feb next is May if we want to wait. Could be an additional 400-500 features.
• Buildings and Master address file will be free for use by end of week
• Using taxlots not recommended
• Dogami has added buildings to this data set
• Attribute Metro RLIS as source and DOGAMI where necessary
• some buildings already have addresses added
• Suggestion for addresses with multiple units: take master and leave out others then flatten building

Other contacts we can utilize are Kelly Houger - she's listed in the metadata - and Justin Houk.

Next actions:

• [x] download buildings and addresses from Metro RLIS Discovery next week

Permission granted:

We now have the RLIS buildings and master address file moved over to non-subscription status. You should be able to download from our RLIS Discovery site without a subscriber login. http://rlisdiscovery.oregonmetro.gov/?action=viewDetail&layerID=2406 http://rlisdiscovery.oregonmetro.gov/?action=viewDetail&layerID=656 Please note the metadata data link in these pages as well.

Here is a link to our standard Terms of Use page… http://www.oregonmetro.gov/index.cfm/go/by.web/id=505 The main take away from the “legalese” is that Metro should be cited as a data source.

Let me know if have any questions or issues with downloads.

Looking forward to hearing about the progress on this very cool project.

If the past is any indication, the committee is going to want something more explicit...

@pdxmele do they have a form or checklist? If not, I can ping sergey.

[pdxmele]

No strict checklist afaik, but the more info that can be provided is usually appreciated.— Sent from Mailbox for iPhone
