Hi, Pat,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking at OSM using the iD editor, when I type in “image” the only relevant tags that pop up are “image”, “source:imagery”, and “source_type_imagery”; “imagery_used” is not an option, I have to type it in explicitly. Does this mean it’s not a very commonly
used tag (?).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It would be much better if this were automatic, in any case. Even with the easy-to-use Source button present, it’s a bit of a bother; it would be even more so if this type has to be typed or menued in every time. Theoretically one could switch background
imagery even in the middle of an edit, which might warrant multiple tags, but that would probably be rare.</div>

<div>There was another thread relating to this a short while ago, so there's more relevant discussion there.<br>
<br>
</div>
Two notes:<br>
<br>
</div>
The source tag can hold other info besides imagery, e.g. it could tell who or what agency provided some item of information. The iD imagery_used tag is more specific. But historically, source has been used for imagery too.<br>
<br>
</div>
With respect to whether the source / imagery_used tag should go on features or changeset: I raised this question at the end of the previous thread on this subject. We don't want to lose the fact that something was traced with use of a particular set of imagery
if someone edits a feature. Let's take one specific case: Say that someone enters a feature (say it's one point, just to be clear) using one set of imagery, and the imagery_used tag gets assigned to the changeset. If someone later shifts that point, while
using a different set of imagery, is it still possible to get back to the original changeset from the modified point?<br>

<br>
</span>I had wondered about this when I saw multiple source values on an<br>
object. I mean, which other attributes came from which source?<br>
Technically the source should map to the subset of the attributes that<br>
were observed from that source, but in real life, I would have no idea<br>
how that could be presented in a way anyone would understand.<br>

<br>
</span>So I understand this to mean that if you are putting in an object from<br>
the imagery in front of you, you do not need to do anything else. I am<br>
not seeing that iD is attaching this anywhere but I may not be looking<br>
in the right place. But as long as the database sees it, I do not need<br>
to.<br>
<br>
Take away point, I do not need to set the source 100 times and I am<br>
good with that.<br>
<br>
cheers - ray<br>
