Open Source Geocoder
For those not familiar with the concept, Geocoding takes a human readable address and turns it into coordinates.
Project Purpose
The intention of this project is to work towards creation of open source software providing geocoding capability.
Design goals
Desired attributes:
- Handle international addressing schemes (expected to be pluggable to support internationalization)
- Library Coded in C (or C wrapper to C++)
- Architected and designed for performance
- Abstracted storage to allow for use of data from various sources e.g. shapefiles, RDBMS, others
Relevant Existing Open Source Technologies
- SRC Geocoder
- Geocoder.us
- PostLBS
Target Licensing
- Preference for a liberal license to encourage adoption by maximum number of technologies both proprietary and open source
