Hi,
after a quick review of the data, I have the following comments:
* do not place a source=* tag on the elements - put it on the upload
changeset instead
* do not add GNS:dsg_code, GNS:dsg_name
* GNS:id is questionable, it could perhaps be a "ref" or should be
omitted altogether. It frequently is a negative number...?
* GNS:modify_date should be dropped in my opinion; also, 1451 objects
have a pre-2000 date i.e. they are more than 24 years old;
* do not use the tag keys 'مكرر' or 'يستورد' (you have 9960 occurences
of each)
* another 9960 objects have a tag called "zz" with a value of "zz", drop
these
* You have 1090 "wadi" type objects all with the same "note" tag of "It
is better to draw the Wadi as way (Note that the node is in mouth of
wadi), copy tags from node, and tag it as waterway=river and
intermittent=yes clean natural=valley tag" - I would recommend NOT to
create these misleading "natural=valley" objects in the first place when
you already know that it is wrong!
* should something that GNS records as a "hill" really be imported into
OSM as "natural=peak"?
* I found many "interdune through" and "depression" objects that you
converted to place=locality and that did not correspond to anything
visible on aerial imagery; how were they "verified"? I would suggest to
drop all place=locality objects from the import
This is just what I noticed in half an hour of looking at the data set.
Based on these many questionable points I would urge you to wait until
more people have had a look at the data set.
The wiki page is from 2021; how come you are picking this up now? Also,
who is "we"? It sounds like you are a group of people or an organisation
that is planning this import?
Bye
Frederik
