Changesets have a timestamp attached (the time when you hit upload in the editor, I guess), so the community (other mappers and data consumers) can usually assume that the survey date is more or less the same as the changeset timestamp.
Thanks. But a changeset could contain several dozen different items, not all of which have been surveyed at the same time, or even surveyed at all.
For example I might add a footbridge over a stream. The footbridge would have been freshly surveyed, but the course of the stream I would most likely trace from OS OpenData StreetView in the iD editor.
My thought was to add the physical date to each separate item, the date I crossed or photographed the bridge or whatever, regardless of when I added it to OSM. It might be only a day or two later, or it might be a few months later.
cheers, Martin. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
