It&#x27;s not out of the question, however there are many obstacles  to overcome, such as licensing, validation, and the fact that the OSM community generally insists on manually entered data.<p>I&#x27;ve heard many folks push for consolidation of various open data projects, so they aren&#x27;t &quot;competing&quot; for contributions. However the reality is that they are currently very different and each serves to bridge a very specific gap.<p>In the meantime, it makes a lot of sense for projects relying on open data to pull all of these sources in, as Mapzen Search is doing, to ensure the best possible coverage.
