Hello,
3 weeks after my initial request, I received from the IT Director (E. Joos),
a CSV file containing all the informations about each Multipharma in Belgium
and the right to publish them on OSM ! Hooray !
The file is raw and needs to be parsed and cleaned.
I did that part and the file is now converted into a .osm.
To do that, I used LibreOffice to transform some fields, it worked without
problems, the CSV handling in LibreOffice is the best I ever seen.
To convert the csv file into something usable like a .osm, I used a custom
python script I can share.
My questions are:
1. How to be sure not to override existing data ?
2. How to maintain such a list ?
I mean, if I receive an updated CSV in some month, should I upload the
whole set ? What about duplicates then ?
3. After work, the current fields in the CSV are
1. Latitude
2. Longitude
3. Country
4. Name
5. addr:postcode
6. addr:city
7. addr:street
8. addr:housenumber
9. phone
10. fax
11. amenity
Should I add more fields ? Source ? addr:full ? something else ?
4. What is the preferred file encoding when submitting ? Iso-8859-1 or
UTF8 ? Is suppose this is the later, but I want to be sure.
Thanks for the help !
