recently i stumbled across one of my edits i did over a year ago. i mapped a new house with building=construction and the area around it with landuse=construction. i totally forgot about that, and since there don't seem to be any other mappers close by, nobody removed the construction tag even though the house has been finished a long time ago. so i thought, maybe it would be nice to have some tags to handle situations like this:
1) delete = <ISO datetime> elements (node, way, area, relation) tagged with this key could be deleted after the date given (as long as they don't share any data with other elements) 2) delete:<Key> = <ISO date> same as the key above, but only deletes the line for the referenced key (if it still exists at the time) change:<Key> = 2011-04-11T12:22:22;<Value> same as delete:<Key>, but instead of deleting the line it would change the value for the referenced key. if the key doesn't yes exists or doesn't exists anymore, it gets added. so in my case i would have added a "delete=2011-01-31T00:00:00" to the area tagged with landuse=construction (which was over a bigger landuse=residential area) and a change:building=2011-01-31T00:00:00;house to the building, which at that point was still tagged with building=construction. bots then could check the database on a daily basis for those tags and delete/change them accordingly. what's your opinion on that? if the overall response is positive, i could start a proposal for it. flaimo _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
