Hi,<BR>
I've been editing some areas of rural Victoria and I keep coming across communications transponders that have been mis-tagged as relations. in the .osm file the xml looks like this:-<BR>
<BR>
<relation id='921922' action='modify' timestamp='2010-05-22T23:46:04Z' uid='74617' user='JohnSmith' visible='true' version='2' changeset='4779256'><BR>
<member type='node' ref='740879387' role='transponder' /><BR>
<tag k='acma.gov.au:licence_id' v='1156821' /><BR>
<tag k='attribution' v='Australian Communications and Media Authority, Register of Radiocommunications Licences' /><BR>
<tag k='attribution:url' v='http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_9150' /><BR>
<tag k='communications_transponder:antenna_type' v='directional' /><BR>
<tag k='communications_transponder:frequency' v='744.25' /><BR>
<tag k='communications_transponder:modulation' v='PAL' /><BR>
<tag k='communications_transponder:polarisation' v='horizontal' /><BR>
<tag k='communications_transponder:power' v='1000' /><BR>
<tag k='height' v='23' /><BR>
<tag k='type' v='transponder' /><BR>
<tag k='source' v='data.australia.gov.au' /><BR>
</relation><BR>
<BR>
I'm not sure about some of the tags but from what I can figure out from the transponder proposal at <A HREF="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Communications_Transponder">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Communications_Transponder</A> the <tag k='type' v='transponder' /> should be <tag k='man_made' v='communications_transponder' /> and the whole thing should be a node and not a relation. I could perhaps write an xsl script to clean up the individual .osm files I use but this mis-tag is all over the state, and perhaps Australia. Is there someone who knows how to do a more systemic clean up.<BR>
<BR>
cheers<BR>
Gary
