Hi
At present decaying features look to have the following progression for me;
disused: wiki documented - where it can be readily put back into service
abandoned:wiki documented - where a good deal of work would be needed
to put back into service.
ruin: no wiki documented - where a totally new feature build would be
cheaper than a rebuild.
raised: no wiki documented - where most of the feature has been removed,
so little remains that it is hard to distinguish.
and then finally gone: or archaeology: where it would take archaeology
to find traces of it! I think most would see this as not belonging to
OSM but rather OHM.
I note that;
ruin is used with buildings .. but as the sub tag ruin=yes.
raised: is in use.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Demolished_Railway suggest using
railway=razed (amongst other things) ..
yet that can not be used with other features such as a railway station!
Presently I am using gone: as a path to placing some things on OHM.
Once I am happy that they have gone across to OHM I should then delete
them from OSM.
-------------------------
Questions (to get some thoughts from others)
Should the following be adopted and if so with what definitions?
1) ruin: - where a totally new feature build would be cheaper than a
rebuild.
2) raised: - where most of the feature has been removed, so little
remains that it is hard to distinguish.
