Hi all,

thank you for participating at this work force.
Lets start by sharing characteristics and specialities of our own countries addresses in the repository provided by centr.

.de and .dk have already shared some of their insights, that you can use as guidance:
https://gitlab.centr.org/centr/address-check/-/tree/main/DE?ref_type=heads

We intend to use this insight to get a better understanding of possible challenges and necessary normalizations of data, before comparing it with Open Strteet Maps. The way addresses are handled by native people are more important for this approach than the official standard way of expressing addresses. 

Also, we will be able to provide you our address check tool in the next few weeks in its current status for a test period. It is optimized for german addresses, but also able to check foreign countries.
The service will be hosted by Denic and is reachable for you as an API endpoint. All components, that we use for the service are hosted onsite.

Everyone who is interested in trying it out as it is now, please send me ipv4 addresses , that we can whitelist for the service. We will then send you a bearer token and a minimalistic legal agreement. Please try it especially for your country's address data and provide us feedback, so we can improve the system.

 

Kind Regards
Robin
