Method

The venues come from OpenStreetMap. Before any creation, each venue from another source is matched against the venues already present, by its name and distance (under 150 m, under 100 m for rooms with a generic name): a matched venue is not created again, its facts are added with their source. OpenStreetMap values are never replaced. Municipality, département and region are deduced from the coordinates. No text is invented or reworded by an AI, and no venue is deleted automatically.
