Hello Everyone
I was doing some research on open source geocoding engines then I stumbled upon
this article by Martin davies
http://lin-ear-th-inking.blogspot.com/2010/03/open-source-geocoders.html
In that article Martin gave an unbiased description of the various geocoding
engines out there. I have had a look at the geocoding engines martin mentioned
in that article and to be frank with you those engines are either to complex to
useor not useful for my data.
I intend the developing a gis application later on this year. The data sets I
have are as follows- A polygon layer for Local government areas.- road layers
(including streets)- Point of interest.
There are all in shapefile format. Unfortunately there is no geocoding
information. There is no standardized address system for my data. The data
covers a small portion of Nigeria.
My questions are as follows:
- what geocoding strategy should i use ?
- What geocoding strategy did Martin and his team at refractions use. I am
curious.
Any other ideas including links (url's) will be helpful. In most african
countries, there is no standard address system.
Happy New YEAR !!
Roman.
