ADS address import for Estonian buildings

Today I ran the script again and this time multipolygon buildings were included. Didn’t notice any issues with that. Also glad to see that so many new buildings where added during this short period from first import.

Done.

This was actually two step process - deleting redundant addr nodes and removing the addr tags from building nodes.

Not sure address nodes with a different address than the building should have been removed. Here we clearly see that one of the sides of the house on the right had a “Terase” sign.

This node was created to resolve the note which isn’t too old too

In ADS it was changed back in 2014

I do not know if the address plate still says Terase, but it definitely did 6 years after the change in ADS.

If care about truth on the ground practice, the node should stay.

Since “Terase 1” sign exists, I restored this address node. This removal of addr nodes was a one time process and I’m not planning to do it again. Automatic script won’t touch nodes, so address nodes can be used in such situations.

Main reason for removing these nodes was to avoid confusion, since both address nodes and addr tags from buildings are usually both rendered.

Hopefully there aren’t too many cases when on the ground address signs differ from ADS.

Were there many nodes with a different address than the building? I’m just thinking that maybe some useful information was deleted and this was just an example.

I would say that most of them matched with the address in a building. Of course there were other examples in Tallinn when it was used for secondary address. If you feel it is important to keep it, even when ADS only has a single address, then the whole changeset can be reverted. I’m fine with that. The biggest number of redundant addr nodes where actually in Viljandi.

IMO, it would be better to filter out addresses where the address differs from the building and not touch them, maybe add a note tag.

Here’s another address which can be visible after it was removed from ADS

https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=59.44609605&lng=24.732323116667&z=17&pKey=404999074394614&focus=photo&dateFrom=2021-09-01&x=0.7223675177164005&y=0.4539385549212579&zoom=2.3437499999999996

What I find strange is I don’t remember mapping outdated addresses and I didn’t do a survey either. Why did I add it then? Maybe there is some kind of grace period in Maa-amet’s xgis?

Here is the underlaying data:

You can use it any way you want to revert/partially restore/add note etc. I personally don’t care. The number of affected nodes is so small it doesn’t matter to me.

For the past 4 months I have run this ADS script monthly, without any significant issues. Each time I run it, it verifies address data for over 650 000 builings and updates addr tags as needed. So far I’ve updated address for ~105 000 buildings:

Is there a need update the rest of the buildings to indicate that the building does still exist and it has correct address tags?

This would mean updating most EE buildings and setting source:addr to Maa-amet 2024 in the beginning of a next year. To be perfectly honest, I’m not sure if it’s good idea to perform such a large scale change.
