Better conform support for complex addresses, with localization #165

Open NelsonMinar opened 9 years ago

NelsonMinar commented 9 years ago

The addition of an Estonian data source has surfaced some problems with how our current conform processing language doesn't fully capture addresses. See also much discussion in this issue about mapping. I suspect this same issue comes up for other whole-country sources like Denmark and the Netherlands.

Long story short, this example could motivate us improving the quality of the data we are extracting and publishing. I think the best way to make progress would be to get input from people who are experts in actually using this data in geocoders and know something about different locales addressing. End goal: for us to publish a CSV file that is directly useful.

This issue is deliberately broad and open ended, it's really a product discussion more than an engineering question. I imagine it will only be solved with a collection of several small coding projects.

Has this issue been handled by @ingalls’s addition of the new regexp syntax?
