Updates:<br>
<br>
The program now reads in the building data (no relations yet) from
the dataset and merges the address point data into the building if
the point is inside the building. It also removes some unnecessary
nodes from the building.<br>
<br>
I'll start working on reading in the zipcode data and adjusting the
zipcodes for addresses.<br>
<br>
I've updated the <a
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Address_Data_Import_for_Fulton_County,_Georgia">wiki
page</a> to include data about the building dataset.<br>

I managed to grab hold of the ZCTA5 dataset through the HTTP
interface <br>
(FTP, for some reason, doesn't like me).<br>
<br>
I do recall seeing the years on the buildings. A few of the
overlapping <br>
buildings had different years, and so that made it easy to
determine <br>
which one to use, but many have the same year. This dataset will
take <br>
some work.<br>

From personal knowledge I can tell you that the Fulton County<br>
buildings data layer contains data of several lineages, time
frames,<br>
and data qualities. There are flags indicating the known time of
each<br>
outline but the flags should be use with caution.<br>
<br>
The vast majority of data is from a 1988 planimetric data
capture from<br>
ortho-stereo pairs. Those have an NSSDA-part3 E95* positional<br>
accuracy of 2.5 feet. Some of the buildings captured no longer
exist.<br>
Some data is derived from other remote sensing data. Some data
is<br>
from "heads up" data capture methods. Finally some data is
derived<br>
from "Tax Assessment measured drawings" depicted as turtle
graphics<br>
that were repositioned into the correct space in State Plane<br>
Coordinate system.<br>
<br>
Be careful.<br>

A few updates:<br>
<br>
Since I can't get the ZCTA5 file, I'll just have the existing
city name<br>
converted to title case, and add in an exception for DeKalb,
since that<br>
seems to be the only one with mixed case.<br>
<br>
Also, I looked at the building data from Fulton County GIS,
and it looks<br>
fairly good. There is at least one main issues there: Some
buildings have<br>
overlapping buildings; in other words, the same building has
been drawn two<br>
or three times. The other building ways are generally shifted
slightly, and<br>
have more/less detail than the others.<br>
<br>
If we are to import these buildings, I can add in a check to
see if the<br>
building being imported intersects with or is contained in an
existing<br>
building. I added the source dataset and converted OSM files
(using the<br>
OpenData plugin in JOSM and a splitter script to break it into
smaller<br>
files) on the wiki page. The area that each file covers is
listed in the<br>
areas.list file.<br>

The issue of 'source attribution' is one that comes up over
and over<br>
again.<br>
Having a good standard answer to that would be nice. I think
OSM<br>
should tag the contributing source<br>
in a way that would allow any region to be selected, and show
a list<br>
of contributors, be they OSM<br>
users, background map providers, or data providers.<br>
