[OSM-talk-be] Urbis: Streets - Addresses matching problem

[eMerzh]

Hi everybody,

I have a little problem that we have to discuss here :

I was browsing OSMI in Brussels to look for possible problem of
non-matching street-addresses.

when i saw the status of the pentagon of Brussels :


http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=addresses&lon=4.35412&lat=50.85002&zoom=15&overlays=buildings,buildings_with_addresses,postal_code,nodes_with_addresses_defined,nodes_with_addresses_interpolated,no_addr_street,street_not_found,interpolation,interpolation_errors,connection_lines,nearest_points,nearest_roads


It seems that a user ( http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/toSc ) was busy
importing Urbis (YEY!)
but was systematically reversing the Lang of the addr:street in the
imported addresses / buildings.

(From FR - NL to NL - FR )

I really don't want to start another community / language / ... war here,
but the problem is that now all the streets are kept in FR - NL as it was
initially added.
So the problem is that we are unable to determine the street associated to
the building .


i was thinking about updating all the building or all the streets....

l like the idea to have the same logic everywhere in brussels but i don't
want to frustrate some french or dutch speakers.


What you guys are thinking about this?


Regards :)


PS: BTW, we are now at more than 83% or urbis in OSM
