The big problem I see is that our node, way, and relation IDs are too brittle for this sort of thing. A POI node might eventually get replaced with a closed-way building. Or a way will get split into two (and those two ways get completely new IDs) or two ways will be merged (with the new way not inheriting any of the original two IDs).
I wish OSM has a "redirect" feature for deleted nodes, ways, and relations sort of like what Wikipedia has for its articles and pages. Maybe a redirect=* tag? :-) 2009/9/29 Iván Sánchez Ortega <i...@sanchezortega.es> > El Lunes, 28 de Septiembre de 2009, Ian Dees escribió: > > > http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/flickr_now_supports_openstreetmap_tags > >.php > > > > Good to see someone else talking about OSM... > > Oh my, this is all kinds of awesome. > > I know several "paleo"-geographers that are into the semantic web > thingie... > and they are gonna be amazed by this.
