I for one would miss a publicly-deployed version. The matching of strings really makes a difference between your data and the ITO one:
1. in well-mapped areas one finds a few places which either have not been surveyed or require a re-survey, whereas the ITO comparison layer largely shows finger trouble. So far I've found them completely complementary: yours for the big picture, ITO locator comparison for the nitty-gritty of getting fluff out of the data. 2. in areas with large numbers of nonames the ITO layer just has too much data (and I have been trying to bang in names N of Liverpool). 3. Data from Musical Chairs gives a better handle on completeness, but when compared with the ITO figures we can assess quality/validation as well.

Well, though I say I will probably continue to develop it a bit, I will probably not deploy it to the public now (unless there is significant interest) because I don't want to fragment any efforts. robert. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
