You are missing my point here i think - giving nodes a tag based on the vague assumption that for the majority of them this will be correct is inconsistent with the idea of a responsible import. There is no information in this and you cannot determine for a node in the database afterwards if its tag has been diligently determined from reliable information or if it is just the automatic default. As a result even the hard work of those doing actual verification on the data is devalued since a place=hamlet does not tell if it has been verified against images/local knowledge or if it has just been pushed as it is into the database. If you want to responsibly perform this import and appreciate the work of those participating in it you should convert the data with reasonable defaults that do not imply any knowledge of the places you do not have (like place=unknown) and clearly instruct those doing the import to only change this after individual assessment using reliable information from other sources. That way you can later assume for a node tagged place=hamlet that this has been verified (unless it has been uploaded as part of a changeset containing 1000 nodes all tagged place=hamlet in which case the mapper involved has probably taken the shortcut... ;-) -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
