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

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

1	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. permanent link answered 26 Mar '18, 14:33 SimonPoole ♦ 37.3k●13●281●594 accept rate: 19%
