Address Cleansing #246

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
One feature that would really make this tool go greater heights would be 
Address Cleansing (Helping you fill in the missing bits of an address).  

Parsing the below address, 

Source Address:     18, crown walk, ha9

If Google Refine can deliver a proper address, like the one below, that should 
be it!

Cleansed Address:   18, crown walk, Wembley, ha9 8hu, UK

Do you have any existing feature to handle this?

You can get full addresses and other geocoded data from Google's Map API.  
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/index.html

You can then use Refine's fetch from Web Service feature to call the Google 
Maps API. The documentation for this feature is here:
