The tags that will be used in OSM, as outlined in the Conversion > section, are addr:housenumber, addr:street, and possibly addr:city. The data I looked at was in the OSM XML format, under the heading "Converted OSM file"- that is where I would expect to see the converted data that would be uploaded to OSM. > Looking at the data again, there is a immutable GEO_OID field that represents a unique, internal ID. This perhaps, could be used for updates. I'm interested in the process- how do you propose updates to this dataset in the future? How will your process handle data modified by users? Also, I neglected to ask about your upload process. You mentioned a custom program, but how will you handle issues of conflation? Who will do the import? If it's a custom application- will the source be available for study? Perhaps it might be best if you re-proposed the import once your process is more fully worked out? - Serge
