Hi Jean-Marc, 2010/1/16 Take a look at tagstats : tagvalueuses nodeway building collapsed 1,045 747 298 earthquake:damage collapsed_building 1,473 1,465 8 2010/1/18 tag value uses buildingcollapsed 5,214 earthquake:damagecollapsed_building3,107 Looks to me that both variants got a huge increase in use over the last 2 days. So if you want to replace one variant with the other, you end up doing it constantly, as users seem to constantly add more collapsed buildings in both variants. Also it looks like the 'easier' variant is more accepted. Yes, it is 'ugly' in terms of data quality, but I see no problem so far. Maybe eventually it gets reasonable to unify those tagging variants, when the growing rate sinks significantly, but, in the long term the information will be removed from OSM anyway. We can learn from this and do it better the next time. Regards Micha ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Corrected two occurences. Edit at http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/3628429 fixme:building=collapsed looks like it should be earthquake:damage=collapsed_building - but maybe there is a reason for fixme that I'm not aware of. As explained earlier, there is a reason for that, so I did not touch anything with fixme: earthquake:damage=collapsed_building is the ITHACA way. Should we convert all the building=collapsed to it ? I would say yes, because collapsed is not a type of building but a building attribute - the ITHACA way is semantically superior. Where a building=collapsed was present, I want to set earthquake:damage=collapsed_building instead. This would touch about 815 objects. Everywhere earthquake:damage=collapsed_building was present, I want to add building=yes which seems logical and helps proper rendering. This would touch 2290 objects. All that seems logical to me, and I embarked upon doing it. I managed to make clean selections and edit them - but then on uploading my changeset would conflict with other data. I tried to get http://labs.geofabrik.de/haiti/latest.osm.bz2 and then as fast as I could (that is - not so fast on my four years old laptop) to replace building=collapsed with earthquake:damage=collapsed_building and then add building=yes everywhere earthquake:damage=collapsed_building was set... And everytime a conflict would prevent upload. I tried again five times... I give up for now - I'm going to bed - feel free to take it from there. Am I doing something wrong ? Is JOSM the right tool for editing tags on 3k objects or is there another way I sould use ? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
