<div dir="ltr">Lester - you've hit directly on the beauty of using the OSM stack for OHM - all of the awesome tools that already exist can be used for OHM.

No argument with that, but in MANY cases the historic data relies on<br>
material already in OSM, and AS we move forward, data currently in OSM<br>
will drop into the historic category. THAT is the link which is not<br>
currently being managed. If OHM uses the same editor tools as OSM then<br>
the process is identical, and the like of JOSM allows complex add-ons to<br>
be created to add analysis tools as well as display multiple layers of data.<br>
