Hi All, I'm relatively new to processing the OSM datasets and trying to extract interesting data. What I'm trying to do is build a dataset of all UK roads. I first used osmosis with a way filter based on the highway tag, which worked reasonably well. However, when I delved into the data, I noticed that a lot of my ways had node refs to missing node entities in the file I'm extracting data from (a recent england dump). Now, I expect some roads to get chopped off at borders and so on but I've done it manually via a java program that parses the full england dump and I've counted ~1.3million ways which reference nodes that I could not find in the same XML file. This seems excessive to me, unless I'm misunderstanding some aspect of the data model. Any ideas from the old hands?
Many thanks, David
