yes, but it is mostly difficult to say "it is gone", because most cases
aren't that absolute then this. If you search for "Heuersdorf" in osm,
you'll only get a hit by "geonames" (SCNR).

But (I think) the data alloyed into OSM's mind.

yes, this is what I am also interested in. Have a look at OHM (open history
map), a branch of OSM. Unfortunately, as it stands now, you can't tell if
something is added to osm because
a) there was an error that got corrected
b) something was missing (in OSM) and now got inserted
c) the object is new in the real world and OSM caught up.
d)...

this could be modelled with changeset tags of course, but to make sense it
would require a lot of people using these tags and being disciplined in
structuring their edits into changesets.

Martin

Re: [Talk-us] Can not upload a change set‏

Thank you, I can once again upload change sets this morning. Last night
(about 11 hours ago) I logged into osm.org and revoked all Authorized
Applications.

yes, another example is this one in Tuscany, It, which is normally
submerged in a lake, but will come to light every 10 years or so when
the lake is dried out for maintenance of the dam:

whow! What a crasy morbid scenery.

village) remains (this is open pit mining of lignite in Saxony, Germany,

The latter example shouldn't probably be mapped in OSM, as there is
literally nothing left now, while the former is still there, it is
simply degraded by the water and not visible most of the time due to the
lake.


as long as it exists. It could be a *barrier* for navigation. And (any 
kind of) navigation is, where maps are for.

May be it emerges on the map every 10 years ;) No.

Here you might add an altitude-tag 'below', notice, etc.?

Generally if a structure is gone, I would delete it.
But (I think) the data alloyed into OSM's mind.
So may be in *future*, you can see a landscape-animation. That would be 
funny.




best, t.
