🔎🗺️ Ius Nominatim

Ius Nominatim (from Latin, 'by the correct name'), is a tool to search Open Street Map (OSM) data by name, address and Brazilian municipality (geocoding). The idea will be to:

  1. use libpostal's library for parsing/normalizing street addresses;
  2. use the bounding boxes of Brazilian municipalities obtained from GeoBR library in order to bound the geolocalization of those addresses, preventing the common mistake of finding the same address in different cities
  3. pass those parsed/normalized address and bounding boxes to OSM's Nominatim (latim for 'by the name'), so that we can geolocalize them.
