[Talk-is] Continuing Staðfangaskrá address import

[Andrew Wiseman]

Hi all,

I wanted to update about the address import continuation that the community began a few years ago. We’ve finished importing the data from the Registers dataset and have updated the OSM wiki page about it: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Staðfangaskrá_Import <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sta%C3%B0fangaskr%C3%A1_Import> 

We also used the ground level imagery provided by Já 360 for address verification, as well as data from Iceland’s National Land Survey to help verify street names. The imagery was really helpful, thanks to Já for opening it for use in OSM. During the import we used separate JOSM layers to copy sections of address data over to OSM and manually reviewed each one, using JOSM paint styles and filters to help our workflow. We had ongoing communication with community members with questions about the data, thanks especially to Jóhannes and Matt.

We also added some street names where appropriate, adjusted some alignment issues we found and added some missing roads to the map.

There are a few small remaining things to do, namely that some of the data in the Registers dataset was abbreviated, so I created a MapRoulette challenge so people can expand them into their full street names. The challenge is here: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/4178

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Andrew

We’re interested in helping with continuing the Staðfangaskrá address import started by Stalfur (Jóhannes Birgir Jensson) (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Staðfangaskrá_Import <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sta%C3%B0fangaskr%C3%A1_Import>) and wanted to get your feedback. Recently myself, Jóhannes, and Matt Riggott from Já had a conversation about continuing the import. We would use the https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Staðfangaskrá_import <https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Sta%C3%B0fangaskr%C3%A1_import> account.

Jóhannes suggested starting with Patreksfjörður https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/65.5953/-23.9892 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/65.5953/-23.9892> and Ísafjörður https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/66.0631/-23.1379 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/66.0631/-23.1379> for that test.
