Hi Saikrishna, I agree with Serge, we need to be 100% sure the license situation is straight. Often the data providers say the data is in the "public domain", but in fact, isn't.
Some workflow suggestions - In general, you should try to script the workflow from start to finish. You will be running it many, many times while debugging the import. The splitting, conversion to OSM, and possibly conflation to OSM. Many of us on the list would like to look at the code to help with the QA. - ogr2osm allows you to specify an python file on the command line that can be used to translate the shape file columns to osm tags. I would look to get things as close as possible with it first. If needed, then do the rest with the QT program. - You should take a look at the addressmerge, https://github.com/pnorman/addressmerge . Paul's code works without buildings, it could be a good match. - Subscribe to the ny city address import on git hub, review the many issues they needed to work through. I would also pick a tile from the ny city import and run the import yourself. You don't need to do it the same way, but I think it would be useful to be familiar with what they are doing. - If you have code to detect differences between the address street name and the OSM name, you should pull them out and resolve the differences by hand. Rather than just skipping them. It might be an opportunity to improve OSM street names. Things that need to be done that are missing from your wiiki - how the uploading is going to happen. If multiple people are going to do it, they need to be coordinated. Task manager, google spread sheet, wiki, etc. - QA on the data (proper removal of street abbreviations, positional accuracy). - Are you going to fix other things when uploading. - You should try to contact any local mappers and ask for help. http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/oooc Anyway, I suggest converting the data, double check the license, and see if you can get some local help. When you have some 100% complete, ready to upload OSM files, post them onto the list again and we can see how things look. Thanks Jason.
