Hi, The norwegian OSM community is now ready to start importing address nodes for all municipalities. The address nodes are released by the Norwegian Mapping Authority (Statens Kartverk) under the CC BY 4.0 license and is of very good quality.
A web service has been developed to track the progress, detect non-matched addresses, detect duplicates etc.: http://osm.beebeetle.com/addrnodeimportstatus.php (try Google Translate). Only municipalities for which all existing OSM addresses have been confirmed and matched with corresponding data from Kartverket will be imported in this round. Other municipalities must be manually "fixed" first. The web-service will tell when a municipality is ready. Only missing addresses will be imported and existing data will be kept if correct (in this round). See also: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue/Address_import_for_Norway * It has been added to the table for Community Imports here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue * The Norwegian Mapping Authority has provided the correct permission: http://lists.nuug.no/pipermail/kart/2014-August/004831.html * The Norwegian Mapping Authority is listed as contributor here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors As you can see on the status page, http://osm.beebeetle.com/addrnodeimportstatus.php, several municipalities have already been completed before consulting imports(at)openstreetmap.org, and the experience has been very good so far. We would like to get confirmed from you that we may proceed with all the remaining municipalities.
