Hi all, (talk-openstreetmap, osgeo-list) Sorry that i dont speak your language (still learning programming code)
AFAIK getting the address system to work on OSM is not an easy task. Im just wondering if u guys are involved with trying to make address search possable in the USA? Just so u know (maybe old news) that were going to be importing the NRN for Yukon, Alberta & nova scotia -first; as these provinces have 'address-range' imbedded to the roads. - the other provincer dont have this yet. I am wondering if anyone has already been working with the NRN dataset from these provinces? Also, it's important that the import follows suite with Standard OSM conventions on labeling. These standards are still being built.. However, address search is available for Germany and other parts of europe. It would be nice if the canadian import matched up with the TIGER data Import. I know that around the world, their are many different ways to be storing this data, so i would like it if this GeoBase import conformed to the already existing standards.[1] Just on a quick search i found [2] a listing of different address types and a push for this. [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Postal_Addresses and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Karlsruhe_Schema [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name_finder/Address_format Perhaps its my mistake, as you may be the ones working on it. (not sure) So now, im looking at creating some kind of conversion program that would translate the data from GeoBase, to that of acceptable to OSM. Perhaps there is a way that this program can feed from some other program which is already in existance? (but i think that all programs used would also need to be OpenSource, so im not sure if there would be a conflict their with CC-SA) Thanks, Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
