Conflator

This is a project for conflating map data, with the ultimate goal of importing it into OpenStreetMap(OSM).

It is oriented towards conflating external datasets with existing OSM data. External data is usually polygons (building footprints), or POIs. These days there are multiple publically available building footprint datasets with an appropriate license for OSM. The problem is this data needs to be validated.

Due to the flexibility of the OSM data schema, it's impossible to get 100% perfect conflation. But the purely manual conflation is very time consuming and tedious. This project aims to do as much as possible to aid the validator to make their work as efficient as possible.
