[Talk-us] [Imports] Boston, MA, USA addr:housenumber Import

[Roman Yepishev]

Hi all,

Just an update on the current status.

1. I am waiting for a response from Boston GIS regarding the license
terms (MassGIS != Boston GIS, as I recently realized).
2. At this point the code will only be minimally tweaked as I have
implemented everything I originally planned:
 - Standalone buildings w/o numbers are tagged
 - Standalone buildings w/ numbers differing from SAM data are flagged
for further manual updates
 - Terraced buildings are marked with gpx waypoints/.osn note entries
for manual splitting/surveying.
 - source:addr=survey buildings are skipped.
 - Buildings containing an entrance that has an addr:housenumber are
skipped (most likely a manual survey).
 - Address nodes are added if there are multiple addresses for a
building within one tax parcel. Address nodes are in a separate .osc
file; if import is approved, these will be the last thing to be
imported.
3. I am going through the neighborhoods splitting the buildings. If
anybody is aware of an algorithm that can make this process easier
(buildings may span multiple parcels, and sometimes spill over parcels
they have no business being into) I'll be glad to hear about it.

I talked to Lars Ahlzen @ OSM Meetup this week and confirmed that
adding addr:city and addr:postcode to a building/address node is a good
thing.
