Ahh but if the tiger data was deleted or modified a comparison to the original would show that, and that way it can be skipped. So either it isn't fixed now, or already has been. Either way I think the new import should default to not disturb the existing edits. Granted even more checking and "smarts" for the import scripts are needed to detect where someone has mapped what tiger did not have before. In those cases selectively adding tiger tags to the existing data may help, or it may benefit things if it was overlayed and reviewed once anyhow.
I guess I would ask, how much work you think it is to fix or manually map the areas that the tiger data was already corrected? VS. fixing potential problems with the new tiger update import. To me the risks are pretty low if something like the above is done. The other problems that will be run into is that roads are always changing. So is the GIS data that is avaliable to import. So the review process is continual even without imports. But with imports, we at least take advantage of some of the corrections nad improvments done for us. The sooner we figure our better ways to import and integrate new data the better. The less people fear imports messing up the contributions, the more they will be willing to do. It absolutely is an important issue. -- Dale Puch On Sat, Oct 25, 2008 at 2:00 AM, Nick Hocking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Dale, > > I don't think it's reasonable to expect mappers to continually go over the > areas > they have contributed to in order to remove obosolete ways bulk-loaded > over their own. > > I think it best to hold off more editing untill the last tiger import is > complete. > Heck - the 2015 bulk upload may even have dual carriageways for > the interstates.
