I'm looking for tools to convert OSM data to WKT for input into a website. Now that I have mapped my HOA I am using the OSM map as a layer in a Drupal site and am overlaying data from Drupal nodes (unit owners, maintenance events, etc.). To input building outlines into Drupal's OpenLayers module, WKT is the easiest format, so I need to convert from OSM to WKT.

I am aware of http://geoconverter.hsr.ch/ which takes OSM input and converts to a.o. KML, which gets me halfway there. I am also aware of a Perl module to convert between KML and WKT. Of course, if I were a developer I could make the conversion in OpenLayers itself, but alas I am not.

So, what tools are available out there?

And if someone wants a preview of the Drupal site and/or discuss OSM use in homeowner association management, leave a comment or drop me a line.

Hi,

I arrived at OSM in order to put my HOA on the map, literally. We've been looking for inexpensive ways to update our neighborhood map. The exported PNG at approx. 1:1000 fits our need almost to a tee and looks great to boot, AND by adding details to OSM the data and effort will serve the greater good (I'm a huge open source booster and user).

If anyone else is looking at using OSM data in the context of their homeowner association or other local cooperative organization I'd like to hear from you. I believe there are huge opportunities for map data serving as entry points to more detailed (textual) data, and for highly detailed map/blueprint data to help visualize assets which we manage.
