OS Open Names

[peterkwells]

Ordnance Survey have released a new Open Names open data product: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/business-and-government/products/os-open-names.html

This feature is to investigate the feasibility of using it as reference data for address building blocks and then to trigger implementation of necessary changes.

@MurrayData will spend 1 day investigating the value of moving to OS Open Names next week. The investigation may also cover other sources of reference data.

@pezholio @Floppy gents : @MurrayData has some code/data from this work that we'd like to publish in Github.

Can you create a new repository under OpenAddressesUK?

The name could be something like "OSSpatialResearch"

Done 👍 https://github.com/OpenAddressesUK/OSSpatialResearch
