Hi everyone, I'm one of the people behind the OpenCage geocoder: http://geocoder.opencagedata.com
We aggregate a bunch of different geocoders, open and closed, including nominatim. One of the challenges we face is upon getting a response we then need to format it to make it look "good" to the consumer. This is non-trivial as people in different parts of the world want their addresses to look different. Our solution is of course crowdsourcing. We've opensourced a set of templates that we're using to do the formatting: https://github.com/lokku/address-formatting The idea is that the templates themselves are programming language independent. We do most of our work in perl, we've also opensourced our template processor https://github.com/lokku/perl-Geo-Address-Formatter I blogged a bit about our motivation behind all this http://blog.opencagedata.com/post/99059889253/good-looking-addresses-solving-the-berlin-berlin Hopefully others will find this useful as well, we welcome all feedback cheers, Ed
