[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - roller_coaster key
Hi all. I have proposed the start of the roller_coaster key as way to standardise on tagging of roller coaster features. Especially now we're getting details enough to be able to include this extra information. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/key:roller_coaster The initial proposal is just for the track and station values but other values will be valid. Any and all comments and feedback are welcome on the talk page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/key:roller_coaster Many thanks (Resent as my original on 2012/12/10 doesn't seem to have been approved) -- Deanna Earley (d...@earlsoft.co.uk) web:http://www.earlsoft.co.uk phone: +44 (0)780 8369596 ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Source tags are rarely updated when the source changes. Eckhart I think this discussion and previous ones about this topic demonstrates one point : sourcing in OSM will never be perfect. Because we have elements with history from multiple contributors and with attributes from multiple sources. Because we cannot expecte people to always have a single source per changeset. Because we cannot expect people to always insert or update the tag source each time they modify something. Exactly. A changeset I uploaded the other day had some data realigned with Bing (from OS StreetView), local knowledge and GPS traces. Doing this with source on changeset would require bits and pieces of work, many changesets (no doubt, I'd forget a bit) or a single "This data came from Bing, GPS, my knowledge, OS streetview, I'll let you guess what and where" This is the reason there are tags like source:name, source:othertag, etc. Regarding changing the source when it's realligned, sadly people don't do things properly, but that's why we have the history. -- Deanna Earley (d...@earlsoft.co.uk) web:http://www.earlsoft.co.uk phone: +44 (0)780 8369596 ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
