Hello. There is on going import of Buildings in city Chicago.
Import is held by following account: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/chicago-buildings I found no discussions of this import. No announcement. I searched bad? It is absent from following web page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue I want know why importer uses following tags: * chicago:building_id (314 330 objects, used by 2 users). I sent letter to importer, and he said he will not import this tag any more. But, he continues to. No justification of need for tag was given. * addr:street:name (173 882 objects, used by 7 users), * addr:street:prefix (173 882 objects, used by 3 users), * addr:street:type (173 874 objects, note: different numbers, used by 7 users) Not discussed anywhere. Used by low number of users. Not documented. No justification for this tag was given. If not needed this tags are, I hope they will be removed and not imported. Not sure who does that remove: I, Ian Dees, Frederik Ramm or some other body. We have data working group. Data working group ban, delete, revert. Have we working group will help clean imports, not ban? I want not ban chicago building import. I want clear answers for reasons why it is done this way. I think it can be better. I found this on wiki, but it seems dead: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Import_Support_Working_Group -- WorstFixer, twitter: http://twitter.com/WorstFixer
