DC building and address import

Generates an OSM file of buildings with addresses per DC census tract, ready to be used in JOSM for a manual review and upload to OpenStreetMap.

Prerequisites

libxml2 
libxslt
spatialindex
GDAL  

Mac OSX specific install

# install brew http://brew.sh

brew install libxml2 
brew install libxslt 
brew install spatialindex 
brew install gdal 

Ubuntu install

sudo apt-get install libxml2
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python-dev
sudo apt-get install libspatialindex-dev
sudo apt-get install gdal-bin

Set up Python virtualenv and get dependencies

# may need to easy_install pip and pip install virtualenv 
virtualenv ~/venvs/dcbuildings
source ~/venvs/dcbuildings/bin/activate 
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Run all stages:

# Download all files and process them into a building
# and an address .osm file per census tract.
make

You can run stages separately, like so:

# Download and expand all files, reproject
make download

# Chunk address and building files by census tracts
make chunks

# Generate importable .osm files.
# This will populate the osm/ directory with one .osm file per
# DC census tract.
make osm

# Clean up all intermediary files:
make clean

# For testing it's useful to convert just a single census tract.
# For instance, convert census tract 000100:
python convert.py 000100

Features

  • Conflates buildings and addresses
  • Cleans address names
  • Exports one OSM XML building file per DC census tract
  • Exports OSM XML address files for addresses that pertain to buildings with more than one address
  • Handles multipolygons
  • Simplifies building shapes

Attribute mapping

Buildings

Each building is a closed way tagged with:

building="yes"
addr:housenumber="ADDRNUM ADDRNUMSUF" # If available
addr:streetname="STNAME STREET_TYP QUADRANT" # If available
addr:postcode="ZIPCODE" # If available

(All entities in CAPS are from DCGIS address file.)

Addresses

Each address is a node tagged with:

addr:housenumber="ADDRNUM ADDRNUMSUF"
addr:streetname="STNAME STREET_TYP QUADRANT"
addr:postcode=ZIPCODE

(All entities in CAPS from DCGIS address file.)
