Automatic Improvement Of Point-Of-Interest Tags For Openstreetmap Data, Sabine Storandt, Stefan Funke

Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings

The user experience of any OpenStreetMap (OSM) based service heavily depends on the quality of the underlying data. If the service deals with points-of-interest (POIs), consistent and comprehensive tagging of the respective map elements is a necessary condition for a satisfying service. In this paper, we develop methods that can automatically infer tags characterizing POIs solely based on the POI names. The idea being that many POI names already contain sufficient information for tagging. For example, 'Pizzeria Bella Italia' most certainly indicates an Italian restaurant. As the OSM data contains hundred of thousands POIs for Germany alone, we aim for …
