I agree. We have this 'opportunity' in Korea to record the start and end dates for construction of bridges, tunnels and buildings. This information is often visible on a plaque on or near the structure: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Korea_bridges At the moment there is are 'temporary' tags to record this: construction_start_date=2003-05-09 construction_end_date=2004-12-09 Since there are only a few instances of it they would be easy to change. I asked on the tagging list if there was a better way to do this but we didn't really reach a conclusion. I think 'start_date' on its own is insufficient, and really not the right tag to mean 'construction has ended and people started using the building/structure/whatever'. However, if it's defined that way then it's fine, but we then need a way to tag the start of construction. My take on things relates to routing and so ANY way that has a start_date or an end_date should basically be ignored if it is outside the current time frame. So when a new bridge opens to traffic then that should be the simple start_date. construction_start_date then also makes sense, but so does route_approved_date and some others relating to the development process. I'm not sure that all of the potential dates are really necessary, but if the information IS available, then it would be nice to be able to include it? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Sadly it can't show a large area as it is restricted to higher zoom levels. I took the opportunity to examine the main towns in the vast area of my State that I have surveyed and note that almost all of this is completely red. I note that some areas which I surveyed are "green", which means that there is some *small* difficulty with the data, as it is not respecting initial work done by myself. Perhaps where roads have been split and the history is lost for one half these things have happened.

I think it is a misconception to see it as "construction ended" it is "feature starts", and the end of construction is just a coincidence.

If the building is finished, it's no construction site any more, but the osm object may be the same one; re-tagged as building=yes without construction and start_date describing the date the building is finished "as it is now". start_date, as you see in this example, is a generic tag, like e.g. width is.

Noone decideto "delete all that data", in fact, we are still in phase 2 of the migration, and the data deletion will come up in phase 5... so we stillhave plenny of time to talk to people that still hadn't agreed on the new license.

Re: [OSM-talk] license change map
Hi Fabian, Thanks for creating this good visualization of ways affected by the acceptance of ODbL + CT. May I make a suggestion? It seems that only roads are being marked. How about all the other ways like landuses, boundaries, riverbanks, and others? I think you can create a really simple Mapnik style to show this, perhaps thin red, yellow, and green lines on a black background? Maybe other people can suggest a way to also visualize nodes.

Actually the Sagrada Familia is a good example of the problem with modifier tags like "width": it's not clear which feature they apply to if one node or way or relation represents more than one feature. The Sagrada Familia is at the same time a building, a place of worship and a construction site. The start_date values are different for each, but I guess if I see these three tags on a closed way + name + a start_date I'd assume the latter applies to the place_of_worship... no, actually I wouldn't be sure. Programs using the data will have the same problem here, or they will assume it applies to all three, like "name", which will be wrong.

Re: [OSM-talk] Historical Data in OSM database
The problem is, and therefore it's not possible to get a good solution without changing the database layout: history information apply to attributes, not to objects, but tags only apply to to objects as a whole. That's also a problem at some other issues discussed repeatingly, e.g. different opening_hours of two poi tagged on a shared node (e.g. one as amenity, one as shop). regards Peter ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

People keep bringing up this issue that its only a matter of time until contributors agree to the terms. If 100% of people agreed to the terms, surely that means that some are agreeing, who have uploaded licenced data. So, in other words, part of the question as part of the licence acceptance, is that you arent agreeing to relicence anyone elses works, only your own. As an individual, you dont have the right to change the licence of data that youve imported previously, just the same way that (hopefully) no-one has the right to change the licence of data theyve extracted from OSM, to suit their own needs. Re-writing CTs or your own licence, doesnt in any way give you any rights over someone elses work, in the same way that Id hope someone cant just write up some terms they decide, then import the OSM data, re-licence under their terms, and re-distribute. The outcome of this, since we already know that a number of major sources do NOT agree to the terms, is that either the data will either be deleted or alternatively, it will be re-licenced without the original licence-holders permission, which either leaves OSM deprived of data, or leaves the legal usage of such data, up-in-the-air just like every other mapping service with unusable data because of so many different data owners.
