Since buildings are not guaranteed to fit into OLC rectangles and they
not 1:1 compatible, this usage makes sense for me.


If you are doing that, why bother with OLC then, when  you can just as
well do some kind of sensible easily digestible house numbering? As you
are recording the value in a geospatial dataset all the advantages of
OLC vanish in a puff of smoke IMHO.


It is similar to the (South?) American addressing scheme, everybody could
compute the house number by measuring the distance to the next crossing,
but it might be faster to look it up in your contact data. And even if
your house is 10 m wide you only want to use (and memorize) one number,
even if several numbers map to the same house. And in answer to Frederik:
if your government does not feel responsible, just pick a number as a
house or business owner.

[OSM-talk] [test] Customized Taginfo : 620 areas - every country and some new experimental features ( ~ 1 week test )

[Imre Samu]

This is a Proof of Concept of my vision [ customizing taginfo for
countries, regions ]
in my experience - It can be useful for finding local tagging errors.


dev site: http://taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu  find your area/country
1 week test:   shutdown time:  *~ 2018-aug-20 ( GMT 23:00h )*


Main changes:

*-  620 areas  - not refreshing *
  = 620 docker services running in a simple cloud machine.
32Gb RAM,   slow CPU :  Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU  C2750  @
2.40GHz,   8 core ,  ~ 600Gb Disk )


*-  2 new experimental reports*:

  "QA-Normalized name differences (Experimental)"
example:
http://eu-at.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/reports/normalized_names
The result can be download as an xlsx file:
http://eu-at.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/download/normalized_names.xlsx

( I hope - this will be useful for the localized
https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index
 ( see
https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index/issues/11 )


  "QA-Problematic tags (Experimental)" [ still a lot of bugs,   for
example:  checking access type of tags  is not perfect yet, sorry ]
 example:
http://eu-at.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/reports/problematic_tags
 .xlsx result:
http://eu-at.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/download/problematic_tags.xlsx

*- `name` support for tags  ( Experimental )  *

 examples:

 Spain   amenity=place_of_worship ( names in Spanish  + Català
(ca), Galego (ga) and Euskera (eu) )
 name   =
http://eu-es.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=place_of_worship#tagnames_lang1
 name:es  =
http://eu-es.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=place_of_worship#tagnames_lang2
 name:eu  =
http://eu-es.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=place_of_worship#tagnames_lang3
 name:ca  =
http://eu-es.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=place_of_worship#tagnames_lang4
 name:gl   =
http://eu-es.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=place_of_worship#tagnames_lang5


   or Switzerland   amenity=bank
 name   =
http://eu-ch.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=bank#tagnames_lang1
 name:en  =
http://eu-ch.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=bank#tagnames_lang2
 name:de  =
http://eu-ch.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=bank#tagnames_lang3
 name:fr=
http://eu-ch.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=bank#tagnames_lang4
 name:it=
http://eu-ch.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=bank#tagnames_lang5

  the "name:*" tags configured on the
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names info but not perfect
yet.

  so "Belgium has three official languages (Dutch, French and German)
"so the *amenity=pub * names is:
   name =
http://eu-be.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=pub#tagnames_lang1
   name:fr  =
http://eu-be.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=pub#tagnames_lang2
   name:nl =
http://eu-be.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=pub#tagnames_lang3
   name:en =
http://eu-be.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=pub#tagnames_lang4
   name:de =
http://eu-be.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=pub#tagnames_lang5

 or in Ireland (Republic )  -  amenity=pub  names  in a Gaeltacht
(name:ga)  :
http://eu-ie.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=pub#tagnames_lang3



  It is interesting for checking in your area the tag"names" of
*=yes  tags -  some of them easy to fix.
   * shop=yes  ;  amenity=yes   ;man_made=yes ; natural=yes
; sport=yes  ; leisure=yes

  amenity=yes  in the UK (
http://eu-gb.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/amenity=yes#tagnames_lang1 )
  shop=yes   in the UK (
http://eu-gb.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/tags/shop=yes#tagnames_lang1 )


*Housenumbers ...*

 It is interesting for me - checking the frequent   * addr**:**housenumber *
 values.

 In Taiwan (
http://as-tw.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/keys/addr%3Ahousenumber#values )
not so much  number "4"
 compare to european countries ...   (  hint:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetraphobia )

 in Switzerland - check the 13   :)   (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskaidekaphobia )
  http://eu-ch.taginfo-dev.opengeodata.hu/keys/addr%3Ahousenumber#values

The South America - has a different frequent housenumbers - compare to
Europe:

Argentina  :  TOP3   199,201,200 :
