Nice work Matt, I look forward to an alternative to RM's postcode finder. > - Largely based on the Karlsruhe Schema (including the associatedStreet > relation for grouping houses together)
A question with regard to your handling of associatedStreet; how do you tag for and 'parse' multi-segment streets? I've been using addr:street but the idea of the associatedStreet relation does appeal to me. However having just experimented with it, its not clear to me what the current 'popular' practice is for associating houses with multi-segment streets? The 'spec' for associatedStreet directs processors to consider type=street relations to be equivalent, but differs (cf. [1] & [2]) in only allowing one instance of the street role. One might naturally create a separate street relation that defines the street and then add that as a child of associatedStreet, but this seems to be precluded by the 2 relations being considered equivalent. A practical approach would seem to be for an implementation to accept multiple instances of the street role, as either ways or relations. Where a child-relation of role=street is treated as a collection of segments.
