Hi. I'm trying to find a good method to maintain data from outside sources. The data in question is the Icelandic postal code database (which they say we may use freely). My searches on the OSM wiki have been fruitless so far.
The idea is to maintain the data in associatedStreet relations. Each relation has a tag called 'götuskrá:id' which value is a direct reference to the row ID in the files we retrieve from the postal company's website. The file formats available are CVS and XML 1.0. The script would presumably go ever each associatedStreet relation and make any changes (if appropriate) when a götuskrá:id tag is found. The output could be an OSM change file loaded into an editor like JOSM to be uploaded manually. Maybe an automated process later when we're confident that everything is done correctly, and of course after submitting the script(s) for review by the local community. I can make the script myself in Python if neccessary but decided to find out if somebody has already done all the work before. With regards, Svavar Kjarrval
