[Geodata] inventory of public address data for geocoding in Europe

[Moritz Lennert]

Hello,

I'm hoping to be able to revive this list a bit with a specific project: 
In the context of my research, I'm currently trying to compile an 
inventory of public open address data usable for geocoding (or possibly 
publicly accessible geocoding services). At this stage I have already 
come upon the following data sources:

Spain: CartoCiudad
France: BD Adresses and the PointsAdresses from IGN France
Netherlands: BAG Compact from the Dutch Cadaster
Belgium: The Geodatabases from the three Belgian regions (UrBIS, PLI and 
AGIV)
- Great Britain: Code-Point from the Ordnance Survey (not address, but 
postcodes which are very dense in GB)

The output could be a list of such data on [1], but should also lead to 
a publication providing other research teams with the information and an 
evaluation of the possibilities of geocoding based on public, open data 
in Europe today.

Several questions:

- Should/can I start a table on [1] ? Is there a better place ?
- Does anyone have knowledge of similar data sets in other European 
countries ?
- Does anyone have knowledge of already existing inventories on such data ?

Any feedback is more than welcome !

Moritz
