John,

Couldn't you use the "Location Data" data set for address points? It has lat and long columns. Seems straightforward - looks like you can export the google fusion table to CSV and go from there, i.e. conflate to building outlines, etc.

They have business names, apartment names, etc, too.

Happy Monday,

The city of Palo Alto, CA has released a set of building outlines, and I've created an .osm file from that data at https://github.com/oldtopos/PaloAltoCA

A wiki page discussing this proposal can be reviewed at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Palo_Alto,_California/Buildings_Import#Data_Transformation_Results

A brief summary is I plan to perform manual conflation with existing building outline and address point information. Most of the city is lacking outlines, the majority of the conflation work is required on the Stanford Campus, a few commercial areas, and the northern area of Palo Alto that borders Menlo Park, where hand traced and filed collected address point exist.

TOU for the data can be viewed at http://www.cityofpaloalto.org/gov/depts/it/open_data/terms_of_use.asp

This import does NOT include comprehensive address points, which is not currently available as an easily imported dataset.

The city also as has a land use polygon dataset (among others) that I'll use to update existing shapes once this import has been approved.

I look forward to your feedback.

Best,
