Putting appart this 'man' vs 'human' debate... This reminds me a thinking I regularly have in minds: OSM shall have a way to tell all (registered) data users that "starting from yyyy/mm/dd following major change in the database will be applied following vote xxx from OSM community. Please see drawbacks, workarounds and recommandations for editors in wiki page www" . The idea would not be to trigger this mechanism every week but to be able to schedule few data scheme improvements in concertation with (and supervized by) a dedicated Working Group (DWG ? Or a contiunuous improvement wg ?). I think OSM already did it in the past and the wellspreading of its data shall not block us for improvements. Keys can be seen as arbitrary strings from a sw point of view but I think there is a benefit to have consistent keys, which may imply from time to time to review 10 years old tagging schemes. It can even simplify life of editors and data consumers. LeTopographeFou

yes, technically it could be done with a bot or also without a bot, directly on the database, in seconds or less. And once we have done it, we could do it again and again, for all kinds of reasons. The problem is not the data at the origin, it is the system around the database. Cheers. Martin | ||
