taginfo only count the old/ugly schema with the source on objects in stead of changest. for a source tag, it's a count a bad pratice :)
don't forget that : - tree is growing, so next year, the information that the measurement was made by a laser with the accuracy of the device will all be out of date. - they are also outdated as soon as a mapper changes the tag height without changing the other x tags, which is the case for most contributors. so putting these tags on the source, the accuracy of the source, etc. on the object are useless, they are also searchable via the history on the changeset, and at least they are no longer modifiable after closing the changeset, which allows to have a real source instead of having a "source without any certainty because you still have to read the history of the object to see if the last modification of the height was made at the same time as the addition of the source tag Le 11. 11. 18 à 12:15, Sergio Manzi a écrit : > Hello everybody, > > I'm the one who, in the Italian mailing list, first brought out the > issue about how to tag estimated heights (/in our context it was about > trees height/). > > My first proposal has been to use a new sub-key in which to store > estimated values, as in "height:estimated=10". > > Then I saw, here, the proposal of using "source:height=estimated", which > is in use (/1543 entries, mostly applied to ways: see: /[1]), which I > thought was a better solution then the one I originally conceived. > > Now I see that there is a different solution in use, > "height:source=estimated", which is less used (/149 entries, mostly > applied to ways: see: /[2]), but *makes even more sense to me, from a > syntactical point of view*. > > Someone also proposed to use "height:accuracy=*" if the accuracy is > known, but I think this could be used for an estimated value too > (height:accuracy=estimated).
