Boundaries, Places and the Future of Tagging
Sarah Hoffmann
Nominatim, the well-know OSM search engine,
has recently received a major update of the algorithm that computes addresses
from the boundaries and places in OSM. This talk first introduces the new
algorithm, explains the background and how it translates to tagging.

picture what the evolution of tagging scheme of OpenStreetMap means for the users
of the data.
