<p>Given that "the addresses are created by local authorities",
surely government already has some ownership? Some of the
challenges may be around intellectual property rights - e.g.
derivation from OS. Whilst this is a messy situation, the point is
that the data does need to be made open as it can save lives,
improve efficiency (services, deliveries etc.) but also being
open, it is easier to identify errors (the data is not perfect).
Interestingly, the post code areas are often modified by Royal
Mail in response to corrections made by Local Authorities in their
address data. So from a systems perspective, this implies that the
Local Authority data is the core data? <br>
The question is should there be a single unified response from OSM
and/or individual responses?<br>
