While uploading edits from JOSM, I have been encountering validation
warnings and occasional errors from others' data. I've done my best to
fix them up.
It finally occurred to me that I can run the validation tool after
downloading OSM data, without adding data of my own, and clean up an
area that way. I've started a systematic effort to clean up the Ottawa
area, using bounding boxes extending .04 degrees in latitude and .06
degrees longitude for a manageable size. My first box was to the west: N
45.40-44, W 75.92-98. The biggest thing I found in that area was a lot
of duplication because the same objects were downloaded from CanVec 6.0
and CanVec 7.0.
I'll be working my way east and south from this starting point. I
suppose I should write this up in the Ottawa Wiki so others can coordinate.
