Hi, We have been working on improving the lakes and ponds in MA. I have come across what I think is incorrect tagging on an import done in 2010.
Please consider this way http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/29683169 Besides the gratuitous massgis: tags. It has a owner, ownership, and protected tags. These ways came into OSM through an open space land use type import in 2010. For 99.9% of the import, having an owner, ownership, and protected tag on every way make sense. However, my investigation into the law in Massachusetts suggests that no lake that is over 10 acres (a so called great pond http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_pond_(law) ), can be owned by anybody. Therefor, the example way is not "owned" by the DCR, it is managed by the DCR, the tagging seems incorrect. I would like to re-tag these ways to use the operator tag, removing owner, ownership, and protected, since those tags don't make sense for a lake or pond. We have 44 lakes tagged like this. Thanks Jason. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
