We are currently working on OSM data of our service area to improve the address range information for route planing purpose. Our concern is improving address searching issues for the service based system using OSM as basemap. Our area of interest is Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton, mostly in new subdivision areas. Our conflation methods is based on an in-house algorithm of buffering left and right sides of the street segments to detect the missing parts, following with an extensive visual inspection (walking though all new data on OSM base map). > > We are going to publish our wikipage soon in OSM webpage and give more details. Metrolinx is an young agency with spirit of young professionals for open data and open source software. Hopefully we will have constructive feedback from the communities!
Most of the address data in Toronto is from CanVec and I imported it a few years ago. You might want to look at open data from cities like Toronto and York Region which have more detailed address point data. I started importing Toront address data a few years ago but never finished because merging old data with new data is difficult.
