We have the full history of every OSM object ever created. Post-0.5, the history is stored in the main database, as you know. The API 0.5 changeover involved a very significant change to the data model (we dropped the segment datatype, and changed the definition of a way to be an ordered list of nodes rather than an unordered collection of segments). It therefore wasn't possible to directly keep an equivalent object history _in_ _the_ _database_. Hence Frederik's message: "we have removed past history data from the database today". However, it was, of course, archived, and is sitting on a server somewhere. I don't believe this data has yet been analysed or republished; and I'm sure that analysing it will not be a simple task; but no doubt finer minds than mine are thinking about it. :) cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.638310.n2.nabble.com/Re-Who-mapped-it-first-with-ref-to-forth-coming-deletions-implication-tp7094472p7094981.html Sent from the General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
