Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Automatic geocoding of PDF documents

perhaps OpenAddresses (www.openaddresses.org) may also be helpful. it is far from being complete yet but for some regions the data is fairly dense (and if donated complete) - and: it provides geocoding as rest services (see the wiki). cheers, hj Am 14.01.2012 um 20:59 schrieb "Andrew Turner" :

BTW: the geocoding engines of Yahoo and Google provide different spatial accuracy (cf. http://www.geoinformatics.com/blog/in-the-spotlight/quality-assessment-of-volunteered-geographic-information-vgi) But I do not know whether that is relevant for your task. Cheers, hj Von: discuss-boun...@list
