LLg makes available in the IFL OpenStreetMap thematic datasets for French-speaking West African countries, available either with their original attributes ("tags"), mostly in English, or in a version where over 1400 categorized attributes are translated into French, from existing translations in the OSM wiki and JOSM editor. The list of translated tags can be found here: https://gitlab.com/leslibresgeographes/osm-tags-translation/-/blob/main/LLG_OSM_SQL_translation_EN_FR_GitLab.tsv These two datasets each represent 16 layers covering 8 different themes, as well as a "Planet" theme grouping all OSM objects on the territory in order to recreate its own themes. Each theme is presented in the list of related resources below. The attribute table for each theme presents both the most common OSM keys and an hstore field containing all the attributes of each object. --------------------------------------------------- These OpenStreetMap datasets are updated daily via imposm from the raw .obf data supplied by Geofabrik, and then translated. Until these updates are complete, the old layers remain available. --------------------------------------------------- To access the data, scroll down to "Sources datasets" and open the country file to download the desired theme(s): - either directly from the country sheet, the entire territory in one of the available formats - or from a MapStore context, on a part of the territory to be drawn by yourself or chosen within the administrative boundaries of the country in question.
