## What it is
OpenAddresses is a global, openly licensed collection of address, cadastral parcel, building footprint, and street centerline data sources. The repository hosts source definitions and a processing pipeline, with downloadable data served via openaddresses.io.

## Use cases
- download free global address data for geocoding
- import open address points into a database for mapping
- find building footprint and parcel data for a region
- contribute a new open address dataset for my city
- use open address data for civic or logistics applications

## When to choose
- you need free, openly licensed address or parcel data with global coverage
- you want to geocode or map addresses without commercial data licensing
- you want to contribute or curate open geodata sources

## When to avoid
- you need a geocoding API service rather than raw data
- you need real-time or guaranteed-complete address coverage for a specific country
- you want proprietary or verified postal-grade address data

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: geospatial, data-science, etl
- domain: e-government
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: open-data, addresses, geocoding, parcels, building-footprints, gis, maps, geospatial, web
