<div dir="ltr">Frederik - Good point. As I understand it, the source stewards maintain their building data daily. Public releases are published quarterly (which is why I stated OSM fixes may happen before we receive new updates). I mentioned your exact scenario to the stewards yesterday and awaiting a response on their specifics of tracking building removal. This would be useful to flag buildings that need removal if the OSM community hasn't already fixed this.<div><br></div><div>Am I understanding your concern correctly?</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 12:07 AM, Frederik Ramm <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:frederik@remote.org" target="_blank">frederik@remote.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi,<br>

</span>Careful there though. If you plan to compare a new source data set to<br>
the previous source data set, find out which buildings were added in the<br>
source, and add them to OSM then that will work. What you cannot<br>
(easily) do is simply take the source data set and compare it to OSM to<br>
find out which buildings should be added - because that would mean you'd<br>
re-add a building deleted in OSM every time you run an update.<br>
