[Talk-GB] Building Numbers
I have been playing around with OSM on my university's campus [1], I have most of the buildings and their names on OSM, but not the numbers. My university are quite good with data, you can see the building numbers (they are not really numbers, but alphanumeric identifiers) that I refer to here [2]. I am unsure though how to include this data in OSM, is there a tag I have missed? 1: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.93539lon=-1.39624zoom=17layers=M 2: http://data.southampton.ac.uk/places.html ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

I had a quick scan around the website, but could not find any physical addresses listed ;) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr still irritates when I'm adding addresses for business premises ... addr:unit could fit your use ... -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

I am unsure though how to include this data in OSM, is there a tag I have missed? Have you thought about using ref=* tag? That's what I've done with the university of Cambridge, which has allowed me to link the data to their database of institutions to drive search, as at http://map.cam.ac.uk (which is in beta at the moment). The refs have come from the University's own numbering scheme, which I extended to the colleges. There's a tagging schema on the wiki http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Cambridge/University_of_Cambridge And background to the project http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/davidearl/diary/ There's also API details via the map.
