Is it possible to import a shp file of a whole Bundesland (federal state)

0

I found some shape files on the opendata platform of Austria, there is a Dataset for the "Detailgewässernetz" (Rivers) in Upperaustria. Is there a possibilty to use this for OSM - or is it a bad idea. In my area are some rivers in the map but nothing is finished.

Link to the shp file https://www.data.gv.at/katalog/dataset/9894ddb8-e76d-4868-9444-7544913b3cea

You should discuss such an undertaking with the Austrian community either on the mailing list or forum.

In any case such an import should follow the import guidelines.
