This is often not on a building, or near the entrance, but the precision of the parcel boundaries (and thus the precision of those nodes) is way higher than any OSM data, though for us it's a bit a useless position and needs to be interpreted by humans. I also haven't found any human errors in their dataset this far. Though there will certainly be some human errors, I think the amount of human errors will be smaller than what can be achieved by regular surveying. - Find a way to keep track of progress. > I thought the French address manager was a good way to track progress. We just need lists of streets, and the ability to mark them done, which is exactly what that tool offers (displayed on a map, which is nice though not neccesary). Next to that, it also offers an easy button to import the data in JOSM, which is nice. - Find a way to compare OSM addresses with the CRAB database. > That's a hard one, as there will be differences by design. Sometimes a lot bigger than you'd expect when you have big parcels. At most, since we don't have parcel boundaries, the list of housenumbers per street can be compared. Making an overpass query that allows to extract lists of housenumbers per street won't be that hard. Anything more complicated will be impossible to do automatically I guess. > I stopped after that because coordinating this in a good way will take > time and resources and cannot be done by one person (me at that time). > > @sander: suggestions have already been made on the import proposal page: > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/AGIV_CRAB_Import#Tagging_Plans > > Feel free to change these.

This will be a continuous effort, and a street should be marked "unreviewed" when there are new buildings in the CRAB data, or the houses are re-numbered. The AGIV file is updated continuously, so we should poll for changes. But they do offer diff files that could be used. This is also why I don't want to start using the tool yet. As the data will probably have to be imported again, erasing all previous "complete" markings. Regards, Sander
