OpenStreetMap

The project to map OSM restaurants, cafes, and fast_food places to Danish health inspection reports is showing great results.

We now have ca 12000 food places with at health inspection id (fvst:navnelbnr) many of them added to OSM as part of the project.

Most of the food places are tagged with opening_hours, phone number, cuisine, webpage, etc.

ca 3500 food places are still missing: http://digitalfrihed.dk/restaurants/missing.html

The quality of the inspection reports are not as good as we had initially hoped

We have identified 437 food places with completely wrong coordinates: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/cd9

Hopefully the health inspection authorities will fix this eventually.

Many of the inspections reports, even though they are tagged by the authorities as restaurants, and cafes, concerns retirement homes, schools, hotels, private companies, shelters, etc. This is not really a problem, it is an opportunity to add those to OSM too with the correct tag.

We are now starting to review food places that does not match inspection reports because they might be permanently closed.

In the future we can identify food places that no longer has an inspection ID, as these are most probable permanently closed or renamed with a new ID.
