Nominatim already uses data from other sources. See for example http://www.nominatim.org which lists the OS Opendata Postcode Centroids (I'm guessing) and two wikipedia related datasets to (I guess) help prioritise results for places where names match. https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim/tree/master/data suggests that it also has extra data for US postcodes from TIGER source. >From all the messages I've seen in this thread, wikidata seems the best >solution.
