I've been doing something similar in my region (Fairfax County, VA), but with the county's road data which has better attribution (maxspeed, ref, weight/height limits). I've got a few comments: 1) Please consider comparing your tagging scheme to the wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TIGER_2010). I created that table semi-blindly, i.e. only reviewing documentation and not checking how things are tagged in the real world. Your experience would be a valuable addition (e.g. I see we differ on S1630 among others). 2) I don't see value in keeping any of the TIGER tags (e.g. linearid, mtfcc, even source), except maybe the tiger:reviewed if you're doing large imports without much checking. If you're checking for connectivity, and spatial accuracy, I would leave the tag out. 3) I don't like to upload data that puts the database in an invalid state, so I always do small chunks at a time so that I can correct topology, add turning circles, etc. 4) I think we should compile a list of suggestions for manual conflation. I edited http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conflation and created a new page with some tips on manual conflation with JOSM. Please add your tips: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Manual_conflation Of course our primary goals are to retain history whenever possible (don't delete, but modify, unless non-CT clean). Thanks for your contributions; lets get this information into the wiki! -Josh _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
