Thank you!

Ciao habi
Ist mit www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/167893213 korrigiert.
Seit Längerem zeichne ich nun auch fehlende Gebäude ein 👍.
Gruss zurück!

Hi Taktaal,
Thanks for your feedback on my changeset and for pointing out the change to way/47410770 and the creation of node/12368699975.

I can see how this change might seem counterintuitive if you're expecting addresses on building polygons. My edit was based on the practice in Switzerland, where official address data (GWR - Gebäude- und Wohnungsregister) typically refers to the building entrance. Therefore, I've been mapping addresses as nodes at these entrance points. The node you highlighted is intended to be at the building's entrance and is not misplaced.

Regarding the building positions, I did notice that many building outlines in this area, including the one you mentioned, appeared to be offset from more current imagery sources. I've subsequently made adjustments to align these building outlines better in changeset www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/166039702.

The process I followed involves using authoritative data to place precise entrance nodes, which is why the address tag might have been moved from the building polygon to a dedicated node. This approach aims for higher precision as per local standards. You can find more context on this in the community discussions and the wiki.

This was a systematic update aiming to improve the accuracy of address data according to these local conventions, rather than a quick import. My intention is always to improve the map.

I admit that my initial edits were not ideal, especially the mistake in Hirzel. If you remove any addresses, please re-add them where appropriate. Please do not add addresses to lakes or cemeteries. Thank you for helping to improve OSM!

The import was discussed, including at three OSM meetups. Most of the imports took place after these discussions.

You just removed 646 (54 %) of the 1191 addresses in Eglisau. Could you please re-add the missing addresses?

You just removed 468 (70 %) of the 670 addresses in Stadel. Could you please re-add the missing addresses?

You just removed 665 (73 %) of the 911 addresses in Niederglatt. Could you please re-add the missing addresses?

You just removed 1955 (48 %) of the 3793 addresses in Einsiedeln. Could you please re-add the missing addresses?

All the address nodes I added were placed at the entrances of each building.

Based on your calculation, it appears that 54% of all addresses in this municipality (a total of 319) were removed. Would it be possible for you to restore or re-add the addresses that were deleted?

Hi, thanks for your message and for taking the time to review the address imports.

I’d like to clarify that before performing these edits, I announced the address import on the forum and also documented the process in a dedicated wiki post. The goal was to improve address coverage.

Your revert has now removed a large number of addresses from 11 changesets, which were added as part of this effort. I’m concerned that this action may have unintentionally undone valuable work and reduced the quality of the address data.

Could you please clarify what specific issues you found with the imported data? If there were problems with the process or the data quality, I’m more than willing to discuss and help resolve them. I believe it would be best for us to coordinate on the forum or the wiki to ensure we’re aligned and to prevent any further loss of data.

Looking forward to your feedback so we can find a constructive way forward. Thank you!

Vielen Dank für eure Rückmeldungen und die ausführlichen Hinweise! Die Diskussion zum Thema findet ihr hier: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/wiki-swiss-gwr-address-data-import-guide/121764. Eine detaillierte Beschreibung des Importvorgangs gibt es ebenfalls im Wiki: osm.wiki/Swiss_GWR_Address_Data_Import_Guide.

Ich lade euch herzlich ein, eure Standpunkte und Verbesserungsvorschläge direkt im Forum einzubringen. Besonders interessiert mich, welche konkreten Vorteile ihr in der Platzierung der Adressen auf den Hausumrissen seht und wie ihr mit Fällen umgeht, bei denen der Gebäudeeingang aufgrund ungenauer Umrisse verschoben werden müsste.

Ich schätze eure konstruktive Kritik und hoffe auf einen gemeinsamen Konsens, der die Datenqualität weiter verbessert. Vielen Dank im Voraus für eure Beiträge!

Hi Lezurex, danke für deinen Kommentar! Ich habe mit dem Conflator-Tool gearbeitet, mich bei diesem Edit aber aus verschiedenen Gründen dagegen entschieden, Adressen auf Ways einzufügen. Ich habe die Hausumrisse noch nicht so korrigiert, dass sie an der richtigen Position sind; deshalb liegen die Hausnummern momentan vereinzelt ausserhalb der Gebäude. Ich werde mich zeitnah zusätzlich zum Stammtisch im Forum melden zur Diskussion der Vorgehensweise.
LG
