After much work I have expanded addressmerge to generate .osc (diff) files and release version 0.2
New in this version is - Differing dependencies - .osc generation - The ability to match addresses to existing buildings - The ability to add missing addr:city tags to existing addresses Most significant is adding addresses to existing buildings. addressmerge will match addresses up to existing features and check if the features have multiple addresses in them or if the matched address is too close to another existing feature. If it is a stand-alone address and building it will add the address to the building via a .osc file If anyone is interested in using it, please contact me. I have some additional validation tests I would like to run on it but require more test datasets. To review a .osc file the easiest way is to open it in JOSM, select all and use "Update selection". It will then proceed to get geometries for all the objects in it. Dependencies: addressmerge now requires a pgsnapshot database. This is a significant dependency, but it is necessary to have a database that contains all the metadata. Additional notes: The quality of results is to a great deal dependent on the quality of the OSM data. I tried a great deal to handle problematic data, but doing some QC on existing addresses and buildings is a very good idea. As a sample I processed http://took.paulnorman.ca/imports/riley_county_addresses_processed.osm into http://took.paulnorman.ca/imports/riley_out.osm and http://took.paulnorman.ca/imports/riley_out.osc _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
