Re: [Talk-cz] [Imports] CzechAddress Import
Hi. Well, I agree with Pieren. Either the tags are necessary or they are not, it cannot be both. As we are not “allowed” to import them then we will delete them. What’s the point of having them only on a some address points? Also we plan to “re-import” all the address nodes in Czechia how do we tell when to keep it and when to delete it? Majority of the addresses were imported by “illegal” automatic imports or using semiautomatic tools here in Czechia so there are not many tags which were created manually anyway.

Adding them is not detrimental but removing them too. I don't see the point why a redundant tag becomes suddently untouchable and sacred just because it was added manually... +1, I agree for addr:country, which is not helpful unless you are very close to the border (in which case it might have its sense), but he was also listing explicitly addr:city and addr:suburb. cheers, Martin ___ Talk-cz mailing list Talk-cz@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-cz
Re: [Talk-cz] [Imports] CzechAddress Import
Hello, so, after a long debate here at imports mailing list, Czech mailing list talk-cs and with Serge Wroclawski, we have reduced our tagging plans considerably to comply with the request not to import anything which could be expressed using border polygons. Therefore we will not import: addr:suburb (neither addr:borough) addr:city addr:country These tags will be used only in rare cases where the address node lies outside of its respective polygon border. We will even erase these tags from existing address nodes during the import as we want to have all Czech addresses in the same format. We simply can not omit adding addr:place as it cannot be expressed by the border polygon. It is vital for searching by Nominatim in small villages where there are no street names. It would be very handy if Nominatim could search for address in format "addr:place addr:housenumber" even when the addr:streetname exists but this is another topic. We would have to import suburb borders in the future as they do not exist now. The English description page about our import was updated to reflect current plan: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import_adres_z_RUIAN We believe that there is nothing stopping us from beginning the import now. If you think otherwise then please let us know. Thank you.

Re: [Talk-cz] [Imports] CzechAddress Import
Hi, > Looking at the description on the wiki, the appropriate tag for what you're > describing is addr:suburb. addr:borough has 6 uses in the database. Can you elaborate on this a bit more? There was a heated discussion about this change in Czech and mainly Slovak mailing list. The main reasons are that Czech dictionary translation of borough is exactly right for what it is = large self-governing district of a city. While suburb translation is something like periphery. As we are not allowed to use the key in Czech language, which would solve the situation. Then we are stuck with closest English term which is borough here. Also we have two larger administrative units over our poposed borough and we wanted to reserve suburb for one of them. So we do not want to choose a key with a worse name just because it is used more frequently at the moment somewhere in the world. > You're proposing changesets of 5 items per changeset. That's a problem. Well, we menat is as absolute maximum. As the file is reviewed by an volunteer before import it is unlikely that this value would be ever reached. What value is acceptable? > It's not clear from the wiki page how you plan to handle conflicts between > OSM data and RUIAN data. OSM data should not be automatically be > replaced. The data are matched and if the match is good we generaly update missing data. If the data are not matched (differ significantly in house number or street) we leave OSM data intact and ignore them. So the way is: - find OSM data with the same address as we have in RUIAN and add the missing info from RUIAN and RUIAN reference - if there is no OSM data in close range then add new address point from RUIAN The whole import data are reviewed by an user before import.

We're loading current osm data and preparing the DB for the import. At this last moment, we decided to respect recomendation from this mailing list and we replaced tag suburb with tag borough. It's more accurate. We can't use tag district, because district is reserved for much bigger regions called "okres". Czech republic is divided to 77 "districts" or "okresu", but we don't use "district" (okres) in this import, because it's really not needed. Districts (okresy) have well defined boundaries and Nominatim can use them well. We'll write notes about the import to discussion page at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Import_adres_z_RUIAN . We expect to start the import on end of this week. -- Petr ___ Talk-cz mailing list Talk-cz@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-cz

Re: [Talk-cz] [Imports] CzechAddress Import
Serge, really? I was not aware that I am importing anything. If you have those last three imports in mind, then I was merely tracing RUIAN a Cadastre map by hand. Is that an import? If yes, then it is what we do here in Czech Republic since the Cadastre map was available. Which is a lng time ago. So, if you think that this is an import, then please point me to the definition of OSM import as I would like to check it. But I have an unpleasant feeling that you are just try bullying me as I did not like your insensitive and offensive comments about the borders and history of my country.
