Öppna data från Lantmäteriet

Har skickat följande till License Working Group:

Hello,

We (the Swedish OSM community) are working towards using the newly (more) openly released High Value Data from Lantmäteriet, the national land survey of Sweden, in OpenStreetMap.

Annoyingly, Lantmäteriet have made the licensing situation somewhat convoluted; they have released the data under CC BY 4.0 but attached some additional terms. The reason for this is that they have determined that a lot of the data (including buildings and addresses) may be personal information under the GDPR, and they don’t want any risk that comes with the distribution. The full terms are available here (in Swedish, Google Translate does a decent job of translating it): https://www.lantmateriet.se/globalassets/geodata/geodataprodukter/anvandningsvillkor_for_vardefulla_datamangder_pu.pdf

So far, we’ve determined that we’ll need to request exceptions/clarifications on:

  • The DRM-issue (2a5B in CC BY 4.0)
  • Terms from Lantmäteriet that restrict the usage of data (such as 3.3) which isn’t actually allowed according to CC BY 4.0
  • (attribution is already clarified in their terms)

This leaves us with the general issue of personal information, especially in addresses (where it’s not possible to scrub it of PI without losing all value). We hope that putting them in OSM is fine (since many addresses already exist there), but just to make sure that we don’t make a mistake: Can we put data from a source which explicitly marks it as personal information under the GDPR into OpenStreetMap?

Legally, Lantmäteriet transfers the data processor role to the entity getting the data from them (so in our case the private citizen doing the import). We both want to make sure that that person doesn’t end up with any legal trouble, as well as that we don’t accidently put data into OSM that “poisons the water” by carrying legal restrictions or similar.


Det som vi alltså behöver få förtydligat/ändrat från Lantmäteriet:

  • DRM-frågan (punkt 2 i @NKA’s förslag)
  • Undantag från punkt 3.3-3.5 i Lantmäteriets villkor, i praktiken innebär det (och enklast om vi kan få) ett tydligt “för er gäller CC BY 4.0 utan extra villkor”
    • För byggnad förutsatt att vi rensar UUID, d.v.s. “för er gäller CC BY 4.0 om ni först rensar UUID”
    • För adresser som helhet
