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

[Christian Quest]

I'm happy to announce that we have finished our first building phase of the
BANO (Base d'Adresses Nationale Ouverte) the first french adresses dataset
available under an open license (ODbL).

It contains data from:
- OSM
- available opendata datasets
- automatically collected cadastre data

The first experimental dataset are available for download at
http://bano.openstreetmap.fr/data/ as:
- shapefiles
- csv files
- github projet based on the csv files (this allows to have diff and
archives of all versions) on https://github.com/osm-fr/bano-data

This dataset has even been published on our national opendata portal:
https://www.data.gouv.fr/dataset/base-d-adresses-nationale-ouverte-bano

The global database contains around 17M addresses, and the current output
dataset is around 12M addresses.

It would be really great if this dataset could be added to Nominatim to
extend its geocoding capabilities in France where we only have around 2M
addresses currently.

We're not pushing the community to import these data in OSM, but to fill
the holes in street names first.
