France: An unprecedented Public-Commons partnership for the country's
National Address Database

Nowadays, being able to place an address on a map is an essential info
rmation. In France, where addresses were still unavailable for reuse, the
OpenStreetMap community decided to create its own National Address Database
available as open data (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_France/WikiProject_Base_Adresses_Nationale_Ouverte_(BANO).
The project rapidly gained attention from the government. This led to the
signing last week of an unprecedented Public-Commons partnership  between
the National Institute of Geographic and Forestry Information (IGN), Group
La Poste, the new Chief Data Officer and the OpenStreetMap France community.

This Open Knowledge Foundation (OKFN) blog provides a summary of the
project and its implications. The following questions are asked of and
answered by Christian Quest, coordinator of the project for OpenStreetMap
France:
- Why Did OpenStreetMap (OSM) France decided to create an Open National
Address Database?
- Was there no National Address Registry project in France already?
- Technically, how do you collect the data? Do you reuse existing datasets?
- Is your aim to build the reference address dataset for the country?
- The reached agreement includes a dual license framework. You can reuse
the data for free under an ODbL license, or you can opt for a
non-share-alike license but you have to pay a fee.  Is share-alike clause
an obstacle for the private sector?
- And now, what is next for the National Address Database?
- As a last word, OSM is celebrating its ten years anniversary. What are
your thoughts on this?
