Hi everybody,
I see several chances to import data to OSM that does not have
coordinates, but only address data.
One opportunity is to match address data including housenumbers and add
the new information (restaurant etc) to the existing addr:housenumber
node.
If the node is already tagged as a restaurant etc, and the address matches
then adding a tags for the washroom information sounds resonable (if they
washroom type tags don't already exist on that node).
However, adding washroom information to address interpolation nodes (a node
that is an address but ins't intended to represent a particular place)
sounds like a bad idea.
The other way is to run a geocoder on the address list and put fixme-nodes into
the OSM database or put fixme notes into OpenStreetBugs.
Has anyone ever done this before?
Is there a script to run the geocoder on a list?
Anybody willing to help me?
Any hint which tools to use?
Adding nodes based on geocoding in an automated fashion sounds also like a
bad idea to me. A lot of nodes for places (ie restaraunts etc..) are accurate
in the 2-20 meter range while the coordinates you get from geocoding will be
far less accurate. It will also be hard to filter out duplicates, how many
of these washroom are already in OSM?

It is about thousands of datasets on wheelchair accessible toilets and
locations.
Thanks
