[talk-au] Rural Addresses in WA

[Phil Wyatt]

Is this how the linear schemes work? I spotted this in Brunswick East in Melbourne

Yes we do, the SLK Points data is CC BY 4.0 and Main Roads WA have completed the waiver, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_data_catalogue#Western_Australia

 

I'm not too familiar with linear referencing schemes for addressing, and how they should/could be modeled in OSM. Is it just a matter of marking the origin and then the ways which use that origin? Could that be modeled as a relation with a node on the road as an origin and then the ordered road segments as way members? eg.

 

How would differences in road geometries resulting in different addresses work? Or are these created once and fixed and so we can store the actual point values as usual using addr:housenumber and addr:street and ignore that they are from linear referencing?
