[Imports] Need advice: Import wheelchair accessible places?

[Jóhannes Birgir Jensson]

Looking over the license it seems fine for inclusion into OSM, provided 
we acknowledge it on the Contributors page. Also my very basic 
understanding of French seems to indicate that the French community 
would like to be told about the impending import.

Looking at the data (CSV and XSLX - which is most up to date) the data 
consists of names and addresses, no GPS co-ordinates.

This is an import that would have to have some pre-processing done. 
Using Nominatim I looked up the very first data line by the address and 
Nominatim found the address and returned an address node, to which 
Wheelmap specific tags (HANDICAP column seems to have some information) 
could be added. 
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/details.php?place_id=44798987

So I would advise anyone thinking of importing this to do an automated 
Nominatim lookup for each entry and get the corresponding item or at 
least GPS co-ordinates.

Also I would probably add the Wheelmap tags to the house itself - this 
requires a second lookup to find a building=* at the GPS co-ordinates 
returned by Nominatim, to get the ID of the building. The French have 
imported lots of buildings and addresses (seperately) and so I'm sure 
most of the tourist places would find a matching address and or building.

This import would need some coding to work, and decisions need to be 
taken on what information to add, that first place for example is not 
marked as a tourist attraction currently so a 3rd option could be to add 
new nodes with the information from the import file, co-existing with 
the address nodes and the buildings.

Best of luck,
Jóhannes
