[OSM-talk-be] 17/02: Towards Equal Street Names with Open Data

[Marc Gemis]

> About the geocoding. If I look at the street in my JOSM, then create a node somewhere in the center of it and then add the coordinates of that node to Wikidata, did I violate any rights? If it does, we could use Urbis data to source coordinates for the whereabouts of the street. I'm not using any nodes of the street itself. I do try to link back to openstreetmap (one of the ways or associatedStreet relation) in the reference url field.

IMHO, that is a derivative database. You look at OSM data, apply some
algorithm and create new data.
AFAIK, the project that Seppe, Joost and Jonathan have will not add
such data, but if you want to do it, you might contact the LWG to be
sure it's OK. I doubt it is.
