This repo contains some basic scripts used to determine which openstreetmap features are important to import for geocoding and allow us to quickly review the data.

nyc extract

I've committed the files from a NYC extract so you can get an idea of which sort of names come from which tags here.

run the scripts yourself

Specify the .pbf file you wish to use and the features you would like extracted here: https://github.com/pelias/osm-featurelist-evaluation/blob/master/extract.js#L7

$> npm install;
$> npm run extract;

This will run for some time (depending on the pbf size) and generate some dumps in ./cuts, only the .text files are uploaded here as the .json files are too large for github (>100MB), if you need them you'll have to run it locally.
