Okey dokey :-) Here is a short wrap-up about current discussion and questions raised so far, with some answers given from my perspective. First a few definitions… Municipality: Data_prov attribute in ODB data. It is the name of the municipality, region, or province/territory that provided the

I think it is desirable to stay close to a KISS (Keep It Simple and Stupid) approach for editing data. I have doubts about the need to ensure that a building will not be edited twice, or about the advantages of changing the angles in the task manager. However, as long as the import process does
