Hello, I started writing the tool to do import of TMC-LocationCodeLists into OSM (will be used for Germany at first but there are lots of other countries with TMC-data so I try to make it generic and user-friendly).
One very fundamental question has come up.... what is the best or prefered way to have the tool output it's changes? * It can download the current state of the changed entities and write an osmChange (full support of the changeset-comment+generator) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OsmChange * It can download the current state of the changed entities and write a josm-file (could be easy to review) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM_file_format * It can upload it's changes directly to the API (no review) I would like to be able to run it, then review the changes it wants to make in an editor and only apply them if a large enough sample looks fine. I also need to deal with users changing entities between the time I download them and I upload my changes. Should I make this one large changeset or one changeset per type (roads, segments, points) or one changeset per imported entity (e.g. a motorway, some segments and a number of points)? I will have my tool store localy what elements have already been imported and would like it to store the IDs assigned to them by the API0.6 and the changeset-id (in case I need to rollback something later). How could I do that? Marcus _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
