Thank you for comments! > it is best to stop the imports and fix the data first, if possible. I confirmed to dataset creator, he could do it. (although needs a bit times..) So I will talk it out with Japanese mappers.

But as the opposite opinion, "yh: WIDTH" is a mere reference value. Wiki documentation is enough, I think. (Of cource, the explanation should be added on wiki docs.

Very clear roadmap! If we could change the .osm dataset, it can be substitute for step 2. 2012/10/5 Paul Norman <[email protected]>: >> From: Satoshi IIDA [mailto:[email protected]] >> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2012 7:04 AM >> To: Paul Norman >> Cc: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: [Imports] YahooJapan/ALPSMAP imports >> >> Japanese mappers got consent to delete almost all "yh:* " tags. >> Only "yh:WIDTH" tag needs stay. >> >> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JA:YahooJapanALPS_Data/Highway/DataSt >> ructure >> >> "yh:WIDTH" tag is not duplicate information. >> Although a bit vague information, but it may help our survey. >> (it will be deleted manually after survey) > > > Looking more closely at the data, I see this now - although it does appear to > duplicate yh:WIDTH_RANK. > > Can it be changed so that it doesn't use the ~ character as this is not a > character in the standard ASCII character set?
