Every week, a script automatically runs which compares place names in OpenStreetMap with the New Zealand Geographic Board (Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa) Gazetteer.

The data is sourced from LINZ, see the main wiki page for LINZ for more information about the import process and which tags are used.

Code & Data

The code for the tool is available from osm-nz/place-name-conflation GitHub. The data comes from LINZ's place names dataset, which is updated weekly and available under the same license as all other LINZ datasets that are used in OSM.

How it works

The tool extracts every feature that has ref:linz:place_id=* from the Overpass API, and compares them with the dataset from LINZ. This process takes about 2 minutes.

This script automatically runs on Thursday morning (NZ time), and uploads the result to the CDN. The website fetches the latest data from that CDN.
