So I've mentioned this import a couple of times now. I have been taking my time with it and working with the new US imports committee that Serge started to go through the import process. But after the meeting tonight I think I am now ready to actually hit the upload button. I plan on uploading in about a week.
To recap: I have about 18,000 addresses from my county GIS office. They gave me explicit permission to use the data. It consists of address points on building centroids. I have processed it with Paul Norman's "addressmerge" script to eliminate any data that duplicates existing address information in OSM and merge the imported address information onto building outlines where possible and appropriate. I have documented the details including the exact addressmerge command I used along with links to various involved resources on this wiki page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kansas/Riley_County#Addresses >From there you can download the data and inspect it yourself. There are a handful of known errors that I will be manually fixing. These stem from a little bit of positional fuzzines in both the county data and in OSM. Both data sets are very good but nothing is perfect and the combined error margin caused a few incorrect data points. But they are all in higher density areas which I have inspected very closely. Future updates will be possible from the same data source by simply following a similar workflow. The addressmerge script will strip out all the addresses that are already in OSM and leave only ones that are new in the county's data. So, any last comments? Speak now or forever hold your peace :) Toby _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
