[Imports] [Talk-us-newyork] Update: New York State GIS SAM Address Points Import

[Skyler Hawthorne]

Quick update: I've finished adding the Building and Room fields, and begun importing again. Since I did not get any feedback about the tagging question for Building, I decided to go with addr:housename. I've just finished Ulster county. This makes the complete list of imported counties:

Albany
Columbia
Fulton
Greene
Rensselaer
Saratoga
Schenectady
Ulster
Washington

It brings the total number of imported or enriched addresses to: 562889

I'm just noticing now that many of the addresses marked for review as "repeat address" are because the address points in the data have a Building field that I did not account for. It denotes situations where there are several buildings that all have the same primary address, but each building is labeled with "Building 10," etc.

I will be pausing the import until I can add these fields, and when I have something working, I'll selectively redo the import in the affected address points.

I asked in the tagging list, and it seems the most established key in use for this is either addr:housename or ref. Which is more appropriate I think just depends on your interpretation of what the Building label is philosophically: a title (name) of a building (house) or a reference identifier. I think I'm more inclined to use addr:housename myself, though I'm interested in others' thoughts.
