Hi, I have written an address QA script for Austrian addresses. Now I'm asked to support addr:interpolation. While the script is specific to Austria the more general problem of addr:interpolation is not.
In my opinion addr:interpolation is of little value for data consumers. Personally, I prefer addresses on nodes or buildings where the location of the address is clear. addr:interpolation rather leaves this open. I know that addr:interpolation is an established tag, but the Wiki also says: "As long as we don't have a node or building outline for each house(number) along a way, it's also possible to use automatic number interpolation." (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Using_interpolation) For me that sounds like: use it until there is something better/more accurate. I tend to replace addr:interpolation with addresses on nodes or buildings when I see them and more accurate data is available. What is the opinion on addr:interpolation here? For reference: https://github.com/gmgeo/at-address-compare/pull/1 (not on tagging to reach a more diverse audience) nebulon42
