Adress handover via URI?

Hello,

is it possible to commit an adress to OSM via an URI?

I've got an Access database, which contains the fields postcode, city, street and company name.

I would like to commit these fields to OSM for visualizing the adress on the map.

In Google Maps, I can add the adress fields in the URI, e.g.:

Kind regards, Daniel

One Answer:

OSM uses nominatim for geocoding - use for example http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php?q=Haarenfeld%2010%2C+Oldenburg&viewbox=8.17%2C53.16%2C8.18%2C53.15&polygon=1 , where you pass the same q parameter as for google maps. You'll need to experiment with the viewbox and polygon parameters.
