Hi,
the Austrian Federal Office for Calibration and Measurement (Bundesamt für
Eich- und Vermessungswesen, BEV) has published a free address dataset [1] that
is in my opinion very interesting for OpenStreetMap. The license, however, is
not compatible with ODbL because it requires the copyright statement to be
published with every secondary product. But I already have a written permission
[2] of one of the leading people of BEV that OpenStreetMap can use the dataset
for *one-by-one assignments* with the JOSM Austria Address Helper plugin [3].
Note that the plugin is *not yet published* in the JOSM plugin list because
there are still some uncertainties left which I would like to clarify before I
publish it on the plugins list.
Now the first question I have is whether or not this is even considered an
import, because what the plugin does is that id assigns the address to exactly
one selected object in JOSM [4]. There is no possibility to do a bulk
assignment. My guess is that it still an import (semiautomated) and needs to be
documented in the import catalogue in the Wiki. Is that correct?
My second question: Is it really required for a user to use a separate OSM
account to assign a single address? I would say no, because then the Czech
Building import [5] would have the same requirements, right?
As I said, there are some things left to clarify in terms of the license
question. I’m working on that and will let you know when I make progress.
Thanks for your help
Thomas
