check country field #32

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
this is a PROPOSAL for checking the country field of addresses with an 
additional data set. It should enhance the dataquality of openaddresses 
data.

What steps ?
1. when user creates an address, check if the country selected by the user 
is really the country the address is located in
2. if not, ask the user if he really wants to save the address using the 
country name he typed in or use the generated country name instead.
3.In any case, the user is the one deciding on the country name.

proposed data set?
the gadm country data (http://www.gadm.org/)  - which is free for academic 
purposes and non commercial use. 

proposed solution?
use postgis point-in-polygon query

expected issues?
performance issues possible
resolution of country data set has to be checked, regarding addresses at 
the borderline
