Hi,<br>
<br>
Some data of the map changes often, in particular what's on the
road: traffic signs, bus lines etc.<br>
It would be interesting if someone tackling a region could
determine what in his interests was checked the longest ago.
Hence the need for a date at the beginning of the data that is
not of the source of information if any but that indicates when
that source, visual observation or other was still current last.
The someone would deal with the oldest in priority and update
that date if that can be said. The data field of the query
result would be sorted to determine the oldest ones.<br>
Is the source:survey date appropriate for that, pardon my
limited English ...<br>

Hi Andre,<br>
<br>
I think that the correct key is survey:date. <br>

Thank you for replying and confirming that high precision is needed
in this too fuzzy OSM world.<br>
I found no "survey:" key, if I look for <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/survey">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/survey</a>,
it falls back on key:source <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Survey#Annotation">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Survey#Annotation</a>
(which is a non existing label).<br>
What I'm talking about is <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:source"
title="Key:source">Key:<span class="searchmatch">source</span></a>
and more specifically its phrase <tt style="background-color:#dde;
white-space:pre;" dir="ltr"><a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:source:name"
title="Key:source:name" class="mw-redirect">"source:name</a>=survey
10 November 2012"</tt>.<br>
That is, data consisting of lowercase "survey" followed by a
mandatory one and only single blank...<br>

KeyMapper 3 also uses it. </blockquote>
<a

an URL to spare 50 people a search</a>, indeed, thanks.<br>
So, either we warn Keymapper that they use unofficial tagging that
escapes an overpass search,<br>
or I still have to learn what many people are trying to teach me:
that OSM is nothing but fuzzy (sending cars the wrong one-way) and
that the overpass query has to be extra huge.<br>
survey:date is not providing for telling what has been <br>
<blockquote cite="mid:5395856F.9000504@byte-consult.be" type="cite">It's
a good idea to start including this in my regular edits, I'm going
to add those as well. There is added value in it. I think it's
best to do this on the changeset but that might go unnoticed when
editing, also in josm.<br>

It's useful in JOSM to save ourselves checking the same element 36
times but mostly with overpass to make oneself a to do list.<br>
<blockquote cite="mid:5395856F.9000504@byte-consult.be" type="cite">But
that tag on every object seems like overkill.<br>
</blockquote>
Of course, only what often "changes without notice".<br>
<br>
At first sight, the overpass API is able to use a regexp to look for
data but not for keys.<br>
Any trick?<br>
