When it should be checked is opinion-based, though. The date when you last checked a shop's opening hours it is a fact. But opinions on how often one should revisit a shop to check the opening hours again may vary a lot between mappers. So I think the former is more suitable to be added to the OSM database. There are some comparatively rare cases where you know in advance that something will change (e.g. with construction that is scheduled to be finished by a particular date), but imo that's more the domain of opening_date or temporary tags. > The routine is then, ask if check_date is absent OR when the current > date is past the check_date. I don't think this is a big benefit compared to "... OR when the current date is X months past the check_date". Also, I tend to prefer making software a little more complicated if it lightens mappers' manual workload, so making at least some use of history (e.g. so that no check_date needs to be set when a tag is first added) seems reasonable to me. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
