[OSM-talk] Proposed mechanical import: Empty relations 1
Now that the redaction bot has finished running, I want to propose what should be a simple uncontroversial mechanical edit (hah). I propose cleaning up two types of empty relations that are not members of other relations. - Those with no members and no tags - Those with no members and type=multipolygon as the only tag Relations removed will be limited to those more than a day old to avoid conflicting with any open changesets. This will not break any relations linked to from the wiki. You'd have to know the ID of them to reference them, and if you know the ID you can retrieve the deleted relation. Technical details are at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edits/pnorman_imports This would impact 1295 relations, unless you take the view that objects which are identical are the same, in which case it would impact 2. :) ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I would suggest a longer time interval, perhaps a week - I have performed multiple edit sessions with periodic uploads with 'dangling empty relations' before they were filled in. (Although they would have had more tags). ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

(Although they would have had more tags). I can't imagine a use for a relation or multipolygon with no geodata and no tag data, even when considering multi-day edit sessions. If someone isn't going to provide some information (at least tags) then why would they make the relation at all? I wouldn't suggest using relations or MPs with no geodata and with tag data over long edit sessions since if you lose your spot and have to redownload from the API you'll of lost the relations unless you remember their IDs. I might propose something at a later data dealing with relations or MPs that have no geodata but have tag data, but that's not the purpose of this edit. Just for reference, there are approximately 5k relations with no geodata. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
