<p>South KC address import<br>
<br>
A map of Kansas City, MO is provided by the City at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://maps.kcmo.org/apps/parcelviewer">https://maps.kcmo.org/apps/parcelviewer</a>. My plan is to do a
one-time import of 1,605 addresses from that map. The Terms of use
for the data, and all data found on that site and data.kcmo.org is
found here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://data.kcmo.org/terms">https://data.kcmo.org/terms</a> and is as follows:<br>

The data is therefore, in effect, clearly in the Public Domain.<br>
<br>
I have downloaded address data from an area on that map in the
form of a CSV file. The reason for the one-time import for such a
small area is that the server does not seem capable of creating
any file much larger than this. By the same token, my i3 processor
and 8GB of RAM also struggles to process such large text files.<br>
<br>
I took that CSV file and used
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://convertcsv.com/csv-to-geojson.htm">http://convertcsv.com/csv-to-geojson.htm</a> to convert the file to
GeoJSON format.<br>
<br>
Then, using the GeoJSONtoOSM command-line tool, I converted the
resulting GeoJSON file to .OSM format.<br>
<br>
Then, with much trial and error and regular expressions, I
formatted the .osm file into multiple, readable lines (rather than
the single line the program spits out) and changed the keys and
some values found in the original CSV file to something usable by
OSM.<br>
<br>
The data are of addresses, <b>not parcels</b>. However, the
coordinates of the address-points appear to be generated at the
approximate center of each parcel. So, I made sure to manually
shift as many points as I could to the center of the footprint of
each house based on Esri World Imagery (clarity) Beta. I also
deleted many points that were ambiguous, or did not correspond to
any visible/existing building.<br>
<br>
I plan to follow up on this by drawing building footprints in the
iD editor and merging them with the imported points in the very
near future.</p>
