Hi, In 2009 user crschmidt imported 290,000 buildings around Boston. An example changeset
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/727013 Three tags were used. building=yes area=yes source = MassGIS Buildings (http://www.mass.gov/mgis/lidarbuildingfp2d.htm) The proposal is to run an automated edit to remove the area=yes tag completely and to replace the source tag value with the official name of the data set used for the import: "MassGIS Data - Building Footprints (2-D, from 2002 LiDAR data)". The area tag is not needed anymore, and the source tag has a broken URL and is missing the data set name. The source code for the automated edit is here. https://github.com/jremillard/osm-import-toolkit/tree/master/examples/removeAreaFromBuilding The wik is here. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MassGIS_Import_Tag_Cleanup_2013 The changeset tags would be * comment = Remove redundant area tag and fix broken URL in source tag on imported buildings from 2009/2010. * source = MassGIS Data - Building Footprints (2-D, from 2002 LiDAR data) * bot=yes Many imports were done in Massachusetts around 2009/2010. If this works out, we would like to run other automated edits to cleanup other issues. This specific issue is not the worse problem, but was chosen for its simplicity. The software is new, and I am hoping to focus the review on it, rather than a tagging discussion.
