[OSM-talk] OSM France "BANO" project... openaddresses in France

[Christian Quest]

OSM-FR has initiated a project to create an open database of addresses in
France.

Data sources will be OSM + available opendata + address data collected from
the cadastre.

The resulting dataset will be under ODbL (because of OSM data and also many
opendata sets are also under ODbL).

In the past weeks, we've been coding the collector scripts which are also
matching non OSM data with OSM data, to get better street names ("Avenue
des Champs-Élysées" instead of "AV DES CHAMPS ELYSEES").

We've starting collecting data a few days ago and the progress can be seen
here: http://openstreetmap.fr/outils/bano/status

A "BANO" overlay rendering is also available to view the coverage and
density:
http://tile.openstreetmap.fr/~cquest/leaflet/bano.html#6/46.988/0.912

green = OSM data
orange = opendata
blue = cadastre + OSM enhancements
red = cadastre only

The resulting dataset will not be imported "as is" in OSM as the french
community considers it needs to be manually reviewed.

As a first step, we prefer to concentrate on making sure we reduce the
number of missing streets and street names and this is simplified by the
automatic matching that is done between OSM and non-OSM data.
When no match is found, we make it visible on the "BANO" rendered layer at
the higher zoom levels, and showing the expected name and street code.

Here is an example:
http://tile.openstreetmap.fr/~cquest/leaflet/bano.html#17/48.82902/2.31073


We're about to publish the first datasets, one for each departement
(roughtly 100.000 to 1.000.000 addresses depending on the area) which be of
course listed on openaddresses.io
We expect to have a coverage of 80%-90% (roughtly 20 million addresses).
