Load kindergartens from Barnehagefakta api and produce OSM file.

python kindergarten2osm.py [-noadjust]

Optional argument:

• -noadjust: Do not adjust coordinates to middle of building.

• This program extracts kindergartens from the National Kindergarten Registry/Norsk Barnehageregister (NBR) by the Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training, and produces an OSM file with all kindergartens; approx. 6000 public and private kindergartens for the whole country of Norway.
• NBR is collecting data from the Central Register of Establishments and Enterprises as well as from other sources, such as Basil. Data quality ultimatly depends on input from each kindergarten.
  • Coordinates without a proper address (street + house number) may be missing. Run geocode2osm for those to get at least the street or post district.
  • Kidergartens which have been set as inactive in Basil may not be in operation. You may want to consult indexed search engines to discover their status.
  • A few kindergartens are in fact just administrative offices or service functions and should not be imported to OSM.
• Coordinates will be centered on the underlying building if inside a building.
• The directorate recommends extrating data outside of normal business hours to get a consistent data set.
• Use update2osm to discover differences with regards to schools currently in OSM, and to get an OSM file ready for inspection and uploading, based on the ref:barnehage tag.
