Thanks Ed. I have cleaned up the proposed tagging on the OS bot<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OS_bot>page to match the recommended tagging you refer to. What I don't see is any way to indicate that the information added could benefit from a ground-survey. NaPTAN imports include the tag NaPTAN:verified=no. Should we not have something similar for data taken straight from OS Open data, regardless of whether it is traced or imported by code? Should we used verified=no, surveyed=no, ground_survey=no or what. Without any such tag then people wishing to check everything on the ground are really stuck when people helpfully (or unhelpfully depending on your viewpoint) add details from OS Opendata. > > > To see all the different values that begin OS or os (and I know > there are values which are in the format "<something>;OS%" look at > http://taginfo.openstreetmap.de/keys/?key=source#values > then sort by value (ascending) with 15 items per page and look at > roughly pages 481 to 512 (for OS...) and 1818 to 1824 (for os...) > Can't make much sense of that report - too much noise! Possibly it would be good to do a cleanup on this tagging at some point. Regards, Peter > > Ed > >
