[Talk-it] Import of addresses in Venice

[Premislav via Talk-it]

Dear Italian community

I’m very interested in bringing Cascafico’s project of Venice addresses import forward, because on site (both for islets and mainland in Mestre) I saw relatively few addresses added in OSM in this touristically very important place 😭

During this summer vacation I surveyed one neighbourhood in particular (San Mauro) first and prechecked the accuracy of data, founding it generally matching the reality.

That’s why I contacted Cascafico and want now to start importing addresses in Venice.

For the beginning I prepared a ready-to-be imported file for Burano .

I'd like to upload the import changesets in bunches of no more than 500 elements at a time, ideally neighbourhood (sestiero) by neighbourhood.

Conflation with existing data will be done manually, this means checking every single point by using the “TO-DO” plugin in JOSM aided with the "Coloured Streets" rendering style.

There are now only ca. 90 addresses present for Burano & Mazzorbo (also a part of Burano in the dataset) - I don’t plan to override/change them, unless they are wrong, i.e. have no addr:place or have addr:street (which is wrong for Burano because the addresses there are not connected to streets but to neighbourhoods (sestiere) so they should follow the addr:place scheme) or are tagged to buildings/areas which is not right according to the convention in Italy. 

Post import quality check will be done using Nominatim QA , particularly with the Suspicious addr:street tag layer and/or OSM Inspector.

I would like to upload the Burano addresses by the beginning of the next mouth (November 2025). 

If you have any comments until then, feel free to contact me.

Best greetings

Premislav
