Hi Bimal, I'm still not sure what you search for. As far as I know and as far as I understand the problem you refer to, OSM as a whole is not searching for solutions.
OSM is not defining addresses, but collecting addresses with their correspondent location. For some countries, everywhere where addresses with some kind of "numbering" scheme exists that works fine, in many others this fails, due to missing street names, missing house number organizations and so on. In some countries the people use different "addressing schemes" like reference points, and for reference points there has been a discussion on the tagging-mailinglist before - started on 20th of March 2012 by Felix Delattre. So IMHO OSM may collect addresses even in different formats, if that seems reasonable, but it cannot "invent" "standardized" addresses for countries where these don't exist. regards Peter Am 04.09.2013 10:57, schrieb bimal maharjan: > Hi All, > > I think my last email was not clear. > > I am from Nepal and we do not have standard address system (let alone > online) .I want to know how this problem can be solved and how the same > problem has been solved in other developing countries.
