Hi Greg, I think in all the back and forth you missed the fact that the gnis feature id is staying put. Nobody has suggested removing it. Looking at the node history it will be obvious if a feature was imported (which is why we have the history function). The rest of the tags are going because the

I am strenuously in favor of keeping whichever feature ID enables us to know the lineage and provenance of the GNIS point. That bit of metadata can be useful for downstream uses. There are instances where the ele tag is useful, even if only as a rough guide, but I don't have strong feelings about

The ele tag is of unknown accuracy. It can be off by much more for mountains. This is the case when it's a real steep cliff between the sampling of NED data. found one peak where it was off by 300ft this is simply wrong and not useful. On Aug 21, 2013, at 10:09 AM, Jason Remillard wrote: > H

Hi Serge, - If there are two tags for the feature id, we should pick one and change the other one. - I don't think the ele tag should be renamed just because it is only accurate to 60m. Everything in the database is an estimate. - I would be ok with removing all of the gnis:* tags except the featu

I'd be more excited by a proposal to de-dupe GNIS data... but the tag cleanup is basically OK. It would be nice if the editors more loudly removed these tags. Silent is bad. That said: *Explicitly Preserve:* gnis:feature_id gnis:id *Consider deprecating*: gnis:edited, gnis:Cell, gnis:review, gnis

The elevation attached to a GNIS point is taken from the National Elevation Dataset (NED) which has a 30 meter resolution in many cases (can be as high a resolution as 1 meter and as low a resolution as 60 meters depending on the location). This means that you don't get the highest elevation, only

Hi all, I've been looking at the GNIS data and it's quite a mess. As a step towards cleaning up the mess, I'd like to discuss removing some extranious gnis tags in the editors (just as we do with TIGER and other tags). I would like to suggest that the editors remove the following tags entirely:
