Sounds like a deeply philospohical question.

 One of the lessens I
 have taken away from lurking on the NY address import is that it is very
 likely that different areas with have specific issues. Spot checking a
 couple of places does not mean you are in the clear.

That's probably going to be true for any dataset though, unless it's
really small.  Most imports deal with data produced by human surveyors
and you'll have specific issues between areas and times of collection.
 (LIDAR-generated buildings would be an exception)

In this case, as well as probably the NY import or TIGER, it's data
collected over years by thousands of workers.  The common issues can
probably be grouped together and an importer processing many areas
will learn how to spot them.

(note this address data in Poland is not available for all of Poland,
only municialities that implemented the programme so far)

Cheers

This is a bunch of little imports. This is not a single all of Poland
dataset, but rather a collection of little datasets by region.  The data is
similar, of course due to the nature of the data being addresses.

It seems like this is the primary issue to work through right now. If the
 process or source data comes from different places, then each one is its
 own import, with its own wiki, with its own discussion, 1+ week
 consultation, etc


The data is collected on a single site, but to my knowledge it's not a
single dataset. It's just listed on a single website.

this is true. Data comes form local governaments databases/GIS which are 
build according to common ministerial rules.

Are all of the local governments using an identical and rigorously defined
standard for the data, with enough standardization that it would allow
exactly the same process to be used over and over again?

  Yes. That is part of the process, to get the feedback of the overall OSM
  community.

 Come on ! Once the process is established and approved and verified
 for one or two municipalities, why the hell are you asking the same
 approval for hundreds municipalities ?


Each municipality is a different import. Part of the process needs to be to
be validation, for example, which has already been brought up and not
answered.

If the import was indeed a single import, there would be no need for each
municipality to be discussed, but it isn't (for reasons we've discussed in
the past) and therefore there must be consensus on each import, which there
clearly isn't yet, because questions keep coming up.


 Where is the group of OSM
 officers payed for stamping papers ? Foolish remark from an
 anti-importer trying to avoid imports at any price.


First of all, cursing, and  implying that I am an corrupt officer are both
not going to move the conversation along, but calling me an anti-importer
is pretty laughable, considering how much pro-import work I do, including
trying to encourage imports in the US. Where the confusion might be is that
I'm only in favor of imports which are verified and of high quality.

I wrote Once the process is established and approved and verified.
If the data source is the same, the data conversion is the same, the
integration process is the same and this is done by the same people, I
see no reason to ask again new reviews for each municipality. Again,
if it's approved and verified.

Then you shoot yourself in the foot.

Right. But some people are raising the bar so high that imports will
be soon impossible (e.g. specify the synchronization process in the
future) which is their unspoken target.

import will need to spend some energy looking for regional issues in the
data as part of the preparation process, so naturally this will take much
longer than just doing a single town/city.
