Hi Tobias, congratulations on your successful microgrant proposal! :) Maintenance of existing data is a growing concern as OSM matures, so it's important that we explore workflows for it.

I think it would help with community acceptance of a potentially large number of meta tags if you're somewhat frugal when it comes to adding new ones. There is some cost in mappers feeling obligated to update a "companion tag" every time they update a regular tag, as well as in visual clutter. These downsides will both be lessened with better tooling, but as of today that isn't widely available yet. In practice, this could mean ... * ... not adding key:check_date when the key is first added, or when the value is changed as opposed to confirmed. (But update check_date tags that already exist on the object, of course.) * ... only using check_date where regular re-survey is plausible and useful. This ties in with your observations on re-check intervals. For example, there should be an opening_hours:check_date, but probably no building:levels:check_date. I don't have any strong opinions on this, and you seem to have given this a lot of thought already. Just adding my gut feeling to the wisdom of the crowd here. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
