sosi2osm [ sosi file ] [ lua file ]

This manual page documents briefly the sosi2osm program.

This utility is capable of converting SOSI files (usually with the .sos extension) to .osm files. A SOSI file is a geospatial vector data format used for exchange of geograhical information in Norway. Osm-files are used by the OpenStreetMap community.

In order to do a conversion you specify the name of the SOSI-file and one .lua file. Then the .osm file will be written to stdout. The lua file is used to tell which tags are converted into which tags. A number of .lua files are bundled together with the package:

/usr/share/sosi2osm/lua/default.lua

/usr/share/sosi2osm/lua/adresser.lua

/usr/share/sosi2osm/lua/arealdekke.lua

/usr/share/sosi2osm/lua/sosi2osm.lua

/usr/share/sosi2osm/lua/adm.lua

If no conversion of tags is necessary, one may simply run it like this:

sosi2osm input.sos default.lua > output.osm

For converting address nodes, use:

sosi2osm input.sos adresser.lua > output.osm

Please open the lua-files and see what they do.

There are no command line options.
