Neither the already performed edit nor your new plans comply with the mechanical edit rules in terms of documentation. The unocha:pcode key has no documentation on the wiki and there is no hint on the meaning in either the changeset comment or the import account description. In short - there is no way for either mappers or data users to conclude the meaning of this tag - if i came across it during mapping i would probably delete it. Note adding proprietary IDs to OSM data is generally not seen favorably - the following factors could help (but would need to be documented of course): - it is an ID established/endorsed by local authorities. - it is frequently used by locals - it is allocated in an open and transparent process If a mapper has no way to verify the validity of the ID it definitely has no place in the OSM database. I would suggest you improve the documentation and then restart the discussion. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Imports mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports
