Yep, that was me. In February this year I looked into it[1]. I tried to geocode the addresses. But Irish addresses are very hard to geocode. Especially when the address is "St. Whatever School, Sneem, Co. Kerry". > daft.ie have issues their (post-primary) schools report: > http://www.daft.ie/report/daft-schools-report-2016.pdf using data > from the Department of Education, so someone seems to have gone to > the effort of mapping them properly. The Dept of Education already has a webpage which has the location of schools[2]. I suspect Daft are using that. It's just that that page has no copyright information, which means it's "all rights reserved", and not usable for us in OSM. It's possible the location of the school is based off OSi maps or something. If someone wants to ask the Dept. Ed. to open that data, please go ahead! :) [1] https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/rorym/diary/37887 [2] http://www.education.ie/en/Find-a-School/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYRrrpAAoJEOrWdmeZivv2KpUIALK0RltTULA6P5GY1J5jmfCZ csFJm6jmIljMwRlZy9ESRs4wj8OQywhvDQjNr6EIX9uCS5UQrJh4mdR370/cX/5C DkDO5w4tW5cuIV5E2wzG/J/dkEAqxqztyfZb/kZBAYF4wed+zwAvggtpnvl1UTKf 8RsclB+ljY7x0K1hpx+M/c2TEE778ADyx2mlnu52gwjs4n0IsVFoAI/mmrvXjWJU DlIiQeZMFxnrbUpWLC2SMS7zHETz6wjqQ6Yj3ASt5mrk7tKPyp+feAA4m/9IEsE5 bHVKv64vuywV4+RtEb5ecRtxew/RKzRPJEljF9MRRIzX0TMnFkicYVK/bakhOFY= =BP8r -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
