J'ai ajouté short_name pour le Québec, mais je pense effectivement que c'est 
inutile à comparer avec Ontario. Dans ce cas, le ON fonctionne sans doute à 
cause de state_code=ON.
Et effectivement, lorsque les relations de territoires sont ajoutées et 
fonctionnelles, les is_in et addr:province sont inutiles et Nominatim fourni 
correctement l'info.

2018-03-19 Thread Matthew Darwin

Pierre,

This is a good idea, and I plan to do it.   My current challenge is to 
know what things people think "need correction".  I'm starting these 
discussions to see if there is any consensus before I go writing 
code.  If you (or anyone else) has ideas, please do post here (or 
email directly).  Obviously I will not re-build tools that already 
exist, but rather focus on Canada-specific issues (eg postal code format).


The checks I made for the City Of Ottawa are here: 
http://matthew.davintech.ca/osm/.  I will be able to re-use some of 
what I have done for Ottawa, but based on the discussion so far on 
talk-CA, the list of things that /might/ need correction is less than 
what the local community in Ottawa might consider as /possible/ issues 
for correction.


My current employer is in Montréal (previous one was in Joliette) and 
I regularly work out of Université du Québec en Outaouais so hopefully 
you'll consider me part of the local community in Quebec, even though 
I live in Ontario.  :-)

Matthew, 
Tu fais du travail très louable. En même temps, il est important pour certains 
éléments de connaitre le contexte local. Chaque province a ses règles au niveau 
des noms et il y a du ménage à faire. Par exemple, il y a eu un import massif 
de noms à partir de la base GNS. Ces données ne sont pas toujours de qualité.  
On y retrouve des codes inutiles. Par contre, cela aide à repérer ces éléments 
pour les traiter.  
Peut-être laisser cette responsabilité à chaque province. À noter aussi que les 
collaborateurs québécois ont leurs propres listes de discussion et sont peu 
présents sur cette liste.

I never include addr:province/state or addr:country when adding an address.
If I see one I leave it there since it isn't harming anything. I did just
go look at the last business [1] I added in Burnaby, BC. Looks like I
didn't add a province but did add the city.  I just checked in iD - it
knows that I'm editing in Canada so it has a province field. Very good iD!

Re: [Talk-ca] Cleanup of addr:country, addr:province, addr:state

2018-02-19 Thread Matthew Darwin

Hi John,

If we want to be able generate mailing addresses from OSM (is that a 
valid use case?), then whatever the city address Canada Post thinks we 
are in needs to be tagged in some fashion.   Google maps and Bing maps 
both think I'm in "Kanata".  OSM thinks I'm in "Kanata North". Both 
are correct, in different ways.


If I we want to do reverse geo coding using OSM data, then the mailing 
address should be represented in some fashion because that's what 
people expect to see.


https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr says about addr:city: 
/May not be required if boundary=administrative 
 is 
used correctly. May or may not be a clone of is_in:city 
=* (in some places 
the city in the address corresponds to the post office that serves the 
area rather than the actual city, if any, in which the building is 
located)! The name of the city as given in *postal addresses* of the 
building/area. /(emphasis added)



BTW, this is one of the reasons I started all these discussions about  
aligning Canada OSM data... I was trying to use OSM to build a map for 
a community group and rather than just doing post-cleanup work on the 
map data in my own private copy, I thought it might be better to see 
what data we could align and make useful for everyone.  I'll only take 
it as far as consensus is achieved.

Orleans is different.  It never was a municipality.

Hi John,

I live in Kanata.  If I type my "  Ottawa" into
the Canada Post lookup tool
(https://www.canadapost.ca/cpo/mc/personal/postalcode/fpc.jsf?LOCALE=en
),
it helpfully corrects me to "Kanata".   Same for old "City of
Nepean" addresses.   Try "1000 Palladium Drive, Kanata, ON"
(Canadian Tire Center).

As far as I know, within the City of Ottawa, everyone's postal
address uses the pre-amalgamted city names while the city hasn't
yet finished de-duplicating street names.   So addr:city should
probably be filled in accordingly.

I seem to recall from talking to Canada Post that Orleans is
the only location for which that is true.  All of Orleans is
located within Ottawa. So how do you tag it?  It is within the
City of Ottawa these days.

Thanks John

Hi Clifford,

(It was good to meet you at SOTM US last year).

Thanks for your comments... The situation with addr:city
appears to me to be more complex than the situation with
addr:province/addr:country, along the lines of what you are
mentioning. My personal home mailing address cannot be
resolved in OSM because the mailing address does not match
any of the boundaries.  (OSM boundaries are correct, but
the official post address cannot be resolved from the
boundaries). So I have a feeling that addr:city is going to
be required, at least in some cases.

Do you have a view on addr:province/addr:state or
addr:country? US/Canada probably have more similarities
than differences, so your input is very welcome.

Matthew,
Just one concern - Removing of addr:city. I encourage people to include
addr:city since it's part of their mailing address and could easily be
outside of the city limits. While addr:city isn't needed inside of city
boundaries since it can be obtained from their spatial location, does make
it much easier to full addresses from OSM. I would recommend not removing
addr:city.

My perspective is from the states where I'm familiar with how the US Postal
service operates. If this isn't true in Canada - please ignore.

[Talk-ca] Cleanup of addr:country, addr:province, addr:state

2018-02-16 Thread Matthew Darwin

Hi all,

During the discussion of cleaning up municipality names in Canada, it 
was suggested that the addr:city could be removed entirely if the 
appropriate boundaries are defined.   I would hazard to guess (and 
will endeavour to investigate) that the addr:city and the boundaries 
do not always align in Canada (there are ~11300 administrative 
boundaries of some type and there are ~7000 unique addr:city tags)... 
so this will be a much more long term effort.


However, the provincial/territorial boundaries are defined, so 
removing the addr:country, addr:provice and addr:state tags might be a 
more reasonable at this time.  (addr:country is used ~94% less than 
addr:street)


Tags, by number of occurrences:

 167902 addr:country

  33252 addr:state

 179741 addr:province

2950115 addr:city

2942159 addr:street

2934341 addr:housenumber
