Dear All, LWG would like feedback on a couple of items relating to cleaning tainted data as we all prepare for the data base transition.
Draft minutes are here. https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1ZIQSl0xXpUFbqTeknz61BYgfCINDTzlAWomOiGxhgG8 Of particular interest are: - can node positions be cleaned by moving to a new position? - is a mapper declaration of odbl=clean interesting and helpful in reconciling the data base? As seen here: "We discussed the moving of nodes and whether they could be clean: We have seen a concern expressed where an node is moved by an agreed mapper and that is the last position, should it not be deemed clean (even if created dirty)? Conclusion: Yes, we are OK with that, the assumption being that the move is made in good faith with a reference source, (survey, Bing imagery, …). We consider that the creation of an object and its id to be a system action rather than individual creative contribution. Tags on the same node must be considered separately. The LWG would like to adopt this as policy and would be grateful for community feedback. Frederik has recently proposed a new tag, odbl=clean, to be set by mappers who will vouch for the odbl compliance of any object. The LWG would like to adopt this as policy and would be grateful for community feedback." We look forward to your thoughtful, insightful feedback. Best regards and Happy Mapping, Richard Weait on behalf of LWG _______________________________________________ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
