IMHO this is a mapping error. How would you be able afterwards to distinguish the building from the charging station and tell to which object the tags apply? E.g. tag name, tag start_date, tag wikipedia, tag operator, ... There should be distinct objects (not necessarily geometry) in OSM for the building and the charging station. Nonetheless I agree that this is something that will potentially occur and should be dealt with. > The import procedure will use the charging_station node id for operations. > Will the charging_station node id change following a merge operation? it will look like a simple delete of the node, as long as the mapper doesn't take care to preserve the node id (e.g. by merging it with one of the building nodes, in which case it will look as if the tags have been removed and the position changed). >> - what happens if a mapper adds more tags to the imported nodes > Tags would be overwritten. Is this okey? definitely not okay, never automatically remove stuff that was entered by judgement of a human mapper. >> - what happens if a station is deleted from the source data > Stations deleted from the source data, or marked as inactive (e.g. > maintenance), will be removed from OSM. not sure if stations marked as inactive should be completely removed, maybe better set them in OSM to maintenance as well (in a way they won't get interpreted as charging stations by simple software, e.g. with a prefix on the amenity-key). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
