<div><br><div><div class="h5"><div><div dir="ltr">Hi Marcus - <div><br></div><div>Great question - what use case did you have in mind? 1-off copying of details, larger-scale imports, general practices, etc.?</div><div><br>
</div><div>To Richard W's point, yes, I think this is something we should definitely be doing. There's a ton of historical information existing in planet OSM today. Easy examples: any historic (no -al) building in any major city, historic districts or
blocks / quarters might be lifted directly. This will almost certainly also be the case for historical roads. Many modern roads cover similar courses, but with different dimensions and surfaces. </div>
<div><br></div><div>So, for simple one-offs, I'd suggest saving a .osm file of the appropriate objects from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://api.osm.org/" target="_blank">api.osm.org</a>. Copying this directly into OHM will cause issues due to object / way IDs, but I'm hoping someone can point out how to fix that. In the mean time, you should be able to fiddle with the objects in JOSM and upload them to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://api.ohm.org/" target="_blank">api.ohm.org</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For more large-scale imports, I'd suggest adding some more detail and seeing what suggestions the list has to offer. </div><div><br></div><div>- Jeff</div></div><div>

I've been thinking we should have a script that pulls in buildings from the OSM history file that no longer exist. Simple way to keep short term history recorded.<br>

Anything that has an 'end-date' should be retained on the OHM if it is being deleted from OSM! But until there is a mechanism for archiving data, then it should not be deleted from OSM anyway.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
