There is no point in storing the rating score: it changes and there are plenty of other places where this can be found (I think the FHRS have an android app themselves. The primary use is to add address data. A secondary use is to spot places which are no longer in business.
In general do not add unmapped FHRS nodes unless you have other information which indicates the place is open (even an inspection 2 months ago may be a place which has closed). I've added a couple recently based on news reports. I would suggest that using something like fhrs_ref is best. I sometimes link the url as a source (source:website=) but this is merely to assist others in verifying the data. FHRS data varies a lot in quality between local authorities. Powys seem to use very non-standard addresses, and Rotherham don't seem to be bothered with post codes. Windsor & Maidenhead has the most useful descriptions, particularly for canteens (Compass Catering at Sainsbury's). There is scope to get your local authority to improve consistency of data collection. The lead time for new establishments to appear on FHRS seems rather long. A new takeaway opened in June and still does not appear in the extracts. I know some businesses who wait for the FHRS inspection before starting to trade, but don't know what the general picture is. Lots of places dont seem to be covered, including the place in Kenton mentioned on this list a couple of months ago (I queried both Harrow & Brent about it). I hope in the near future to be able to provide: - Regular diffs of FHRS data. - Full CSV version of current data. - Archive copies of the xml. - Slippy map tiles with geolocated FHRS data shown based on the postcode centroid (so no Rotherham data) I'm just working to tidy up my shell script which does the first two, and Chris Fleming has offered to host the script (I don't have a linux environment, let alone one running 24/7), so that we have a reasonable run of changes starting from 1st October. I had grandiose ideas of aligning the FHRS nodes by house number in the right direction along the road, but until I work through a host of interesting issues, will just have to make do with a less sophisticated version. The full UK FHRS XML data zipped is around 80M (350 files, 400Mb, my CSV extract (13 columns, 440k) is also around 80Mb (16.5Mb zipped). Daily diffs are about 150kb (~ rows). I plan to push the data in to Postgres & create a temporalised table for the data, preferably with change detection on a by column basis. I have encountered some encoding issues with some data from Northern Ireland (they seem to 1\2 to mean housenumber 1 to 2 inclusive). A more challenging project is to work on conflation of FHRS data with OSM data. Names and addresses are rarely perfect matches with OSM. Geolocation of the FHRS data is only to postcode centroid. I believe we need to be able to integrate some likelihood estimate of match based on the following independent criteria: - Type of POI bearing in mind that things like pubs might be mapped as restaurants and vice versa. - Establishment Name. Individual elements of the name probably should be treated as tokens for matching (so we match Sycamore Primary School to Sycamore Academy; The Rose & Crown Inn with Rose and Crown). - Address. Clearly Nominatim can do much of this, but if the address needs to be parsed then complications ensure. - Postcode. There are errors in postcodes, usually single letter transpositions. Certain postcodes may have the postcode centroid a long way from the POI, but in most cases they will be within 100m. - It is to be hoped that the Local Authority is unambiguous! Anyone interested in taking this latter aspect further?
