Frankly - not sure ;) I was less concerned about what the people at the source do or don't do, my concern was mainly that if a building is removed in OSM (for good reason - say a meteorite crashed on it) but the source people don't make the change in their data for some reason, that this building might then be re-added to OSM. To avoid that, you would either * make sure that the building is removed in the source as soon as it is removed in OSM * make sure you only add buildings to OSM that have been *added* to the source since the last publication (not buildings that simply are still in the source) * or actually have a look at object history in OSM to determine that something was deleted and should therefore not be created again Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [email protected] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ Imports-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports-us
