it's a good start, but the next question is what are the current<br>
tagging standards for OHM, and how do they relate to OSM<br>
tagging?<br>
<br>
for example, if i enter the Pine Bowl Speedway in Poestenkill<br>
NY, highway=raceway is the normal OSM tag, but what do i<br>
need to do about dates of operation?<br>
<br>
also, when addressing dates of operation, sometimes they<br>
can be involved for race tracks. any track that operated in<br>
the US both before and after WWII will have a gap from<br>
1941 to 1945 when they didn't operate. there are frequently<br>
gaps where one promoter went out of business and it<br>
was a few years before a new one started.<br>
<br>
additionally, there are tracks that have operated as both<br>
dirt/clay and paved tracks, and frequently i have data<br>
about when they used a particular surface (Pine Bowl<br>
is particularly odd in this regard because they paved<br>
the corners first and operated about a year with dirt<br>
straights.)<br>
