I’ve decided to tackle an indoor shopping mall near me. This will be shops within a larger structure, walking paths, and other features. Is there a guide anywhere for doing this correctly?

I don’t think they are copyrighted? They are made according to ISO23601
This is actually a really interesting case. On one hand, there is typically a specialized company involved creating those maps. On the other hand, the mall which requested them is, by law, required to create them and to put them at visible places in the mall (thus “publishing” them). According to the European Database Law, they would thus not be eligible for copyright and should be considered public domain!
However, I wouldn’t build a multi-million company on it…
@Zwiebel @openstreetmap
I would expect ISO to be among the last organisations in the world to suggest that copyright should be waived for something or that there should be an open license.
Of course I’m not going to check in this instance because as a typical ISO standard it is obscenely expensive.
