Batch uploading multiple .osm files
ایہہ 21؍November 2011ء English وچ «Yingqi Tang» لیکھ چھپیا گیا سی۔All OSM community friends,
I have generated about 200+ small (200kb each) osm files that contain parcels polygons for a city in US, and now I am trying to find an easy way to upload multiple .osm files. Tools like JOSM or Merkaartor works great for me BUT the problem is that I don't want repeat the same work for 200 times. So I am trying to find an easier/better way to do the following steps:
1. Load the .osm xml;
2. Validate if possible (optional) like what JOSM does before upload;
3. Upload the .osm file to OSM database.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

JOSM can open several .osm files at once. However I suspect most of the work is verifying the data before you upload. You do not want the data to be added several times over do you?

Please, don't upload parcels into OSM. First, it is not 'verifiable' on the ground. Second, it is continuously changing and keeping them up-to-date will be almost impossible. Third, you will increase the density of data so much that other contributors will not be able to edit any more on those areas.

I would strongly encourage you to read the following page and discuss this on the imports@ mailing list before importing any further parcels:
