OHM. > If for OHM, I'd just tag it as you'd tag a present-day raceway. if i tag a current racetrack, it'll be with a closed way and highway=raceway in this case, i know a rough bounding box for the location but not a footprint. for some tracks, finding the old footprint may be pretty hard. > I think there should be the presumption that it's historic, particularly > if you tag the start_date = * and end_date = * tags (please tag those!). i am, although another part of the research problem is uncertainty or sometimes conflicting sources. in one case, i have a source which is in conflict with itself and the author likely didn't even know this. > If you don't have an actual footprint, it seems that tagging a POI would > be fantastic. That's essentially what gazetteers do. (I think!) that's essentially where i am. i have two pre WWII tracks in Rensselaer where i'm still trying to track down the footprint and i'll probably succeed, but i won't always be able to do that, so i would like a standard way to do a POI. -- [email protected] Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search _______________________________________________ Historic mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic
