I attended the
Open Addresses Symposium organised by
Jeni Tennison of the
Open Data Institute last month. This brought together a host of people and organisations interested in having an
open alternative to the Postcode Address File (PAF).
Somewhat foolishly I'd suggested to Harry Wood that I might speak about addresses on OpenStreetMap.

Density of address mapping in (southern) Britain on OpenStreetMap by local authority
(Northern Scotland not shown because little data, full map)
See text on map for full explanation. |
I was glad to see that my talk was relatively late on in the day: the audience were unfamiliar and many of them came from large organisations., so I appreciated the chance to get an impression of them.
