Open Geocoding data in Poland

[mlennert]

Hello,

Maciej Sieczka proposed that I write here in English as my Polish vocabulary is limited to about 5 words. He also very nicely proposed to translate if necessary.

I am a geographer at the Free University of Brussels (ULB) and am currently busy doing research on firms across Europe. In that context, I am trying to make an inventory of freely available geocoding solution across European countries, ideally based on official data. Pushed by the INSPIRE directive more and more countries have opened up their data and localised address information is becoming more and more available (I already have identified such data in Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, and Spain), either in the form of downloadable data, and/or in the form of freely accessible web services.

So, I would like to ask if any of you know of such data (often based on cadaster data) or of such developments in Poland ? Any hints or links would be welcome.

Thank you very much in advance !
