SurveysSurveys
● Primary means of address collection– Bicycle or Foot
– 250-1000 addresses per hour (inner city-suburbs)
– Usually pencil & paper, perhaps with Field Papers.
● Data entry usually 2-3 times as long● Experience dramatically improves
efficiency● Low immediate reward from mapping
– Relatively few dedicated address mappers (~ 5% of active mappers)

Typical OdditiesTypical Oddities
● Addresses not located on road different from name– Sherwin Walk, Nott'm
● Roads with houses, but no valid addresses– Sherwin Walk, Nott'm
● Roads with different names on each side– Poultry/Cheapside, Nott'm
– Long Row/Smithy Row, Nott'm
● Multiple inconsistent addresses – Austin Reed, N'ham
– (OSGB, NCC, Royal Mail & Austin Reed each has different version)
● More nesting of levels than supported by BS7666– Leen Court, Nott'm
– Named terraces (Bangor, N. Wales)

DifficultiesDifficulties
● Gated Developments– Sheltered Housing
– Modern flats & houses
– Many modern social housing schemes
● Tower Blocks● Radburn Estates● In-fill of Victorian/Edwardian streets● Absence of housenumbers● Properties with names only

OSM Addresses in UKOSM Addresses in UK
● Largest OPEN set of accurately located data– Mostly to within 5 m
– Some at delivery point
● Licensed under ODbL– Viral CC-BY-SA
– Derived data an issue● OpenData analogue of
OSGB-derived data
● Created for:
– Geolocation– Thematic interestse.g., MESH Edinburgh Historical Atlas (Richard Rodger)
– Local Maps
– General obsessiveness

Distribution of Address DataDistribution of Address Data
● > 800k (August '14)
● Places– Cambridge– Tendring– Wokingham– Birmingham– Nottingham – Broxtowe– Runcorn
Excludes interpolated address (~ 100k)Areas shaded in decilesCentroid area scaled by number(Birmingham ~ 100k)

Motivating ContributorsMotivating Contributors
More contributionsMore contributions● Current rely on small core
of address 'addicts'● Steady drip of one-of
contributions● Germany has broader
coverage – 10-times more OSMers
– More activity in small towns
– Local pride
– More manageable task
Imports of dataImports of data● Imported data gets stale ● Quality rarely as good
as surveyed data● British community
generally sceptical of value of imports
● Believed to have limited OSM in US

● Initiative of OSM-US Chapter (Ian Dees &c.)● Repository on Github of metadata for address
open data– Potentially thousands of available data sets at local
level in US & Canada
● Most information for US & Canda– Also some France (BANO), Netherlands & South
Africa
