[Talk-ht] Adding Schools to the Map from Addresses

[Karl Guggisberg]

Hi,

nominatim may help. Take the first row in the spreadsheet, for instance.
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=Rue Waag,Port-au-Prince 
<http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=Rue%20Waag,Port-au-Prince>
shows the map with Rue Waag in Port-Au-Prince,
http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=Rue%20Waag,Port-au-Prince&addressdetails=1&format=xml 
<http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=Rue%20Waag,Port-au-Prince&addressdetails=1&format=xml>
is the same thing in structured XML and with a breakdown of address 
details and with a bounding box.

These kind of queries are pretty easy to run automatically for 3900 
schools. And the output helps to better
understand where these schools are expected to be located.

Regards
Karl
