Abstract
With over 110 million points, OpenAddresses.io has grown to be the largest open database of address data in the world. Governments, developers and businesses are realizing that address data belongs in a commons where it can be easily maintained, used by all, and drive economic growth. These early efforts are now powering some of the world's best commercial geocoding systems, as well as crucial infrastructure like emergency responders. But there's more work to do. We need to reform outdated laws, expand coverage to new cultural contexts, untangle shortsighted licenses, and invent new modes of collaboration between the public and government. We'll cover how OpenAddresses started, how it can be used today, and how we expect it to grow into a definitive global resource.
