Re: [talk-au] Residential Coordinates
Perhaps a good use for this kind of data would be a feed of *buildings not mapped* IE: - Grab data as you are doing or via a platform like morph.io - Overpass queries to find out if there is any building geometry at given coordinates - Produce an RSS feed or similar (Maproulette? To-fix?) I manually do something similar with planningalerts, to find buildings being demolished or built in my area. The rental information itself is probably better in a separate repo - its likely to change frequently with leases. A number of commercial data providers sell this kind of thing; so there's obviously some use for it... just perhaps not in OSM itself.

Any building can be added with the address data .. if it is for sale, rent does not matter. And I see benefit to OSM for having the address data within OSM. The attribute of 'rental' in OSM? I don't know, however I see no real reason why not to have it, only those concerned would be using that data. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Why use Bing Maps? For OSM it would be far better to use the LIP Base map for the address data and then use the LPI Imagery for the building footprint.

Re: [talk-au] Residential Coordinates
I'd recommending reading up about Imports in OSM at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import. Neither the rental property data (since you say you scraped it, I'll presume it's not under a compatible open license) nor the geocodes from Bing maps are going to pass the License approval as per https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines#Step_3_-_License_approval On 5 February 2017 at 13:59, Timur Behlul wrote: > Hi All, > > I have been scraping rental properties off the net for an analysis I am > doing on Sydney.

[talk-au] Residential Coordinates
Hi All, I have been scraping rental properties off the net for an analysis I am doing on Sydney. In the process I geo-coded these properties using Bing Maps. There are around 100,000 properties. Would this informaiton be useful. I can I upload it to OSM even though I used Bing Maps to geo-code them?
