<br>
there's a mapper in Canada - Darthmouthmapper - who seems to:<br>
<br>
1. import data from a source he calls "Nova Scotia Open Data" - I am not<br>
aware of any imports discussion, and the source specification is not<br>
precise enough to determine the legal status of that. Judging from past<br>
changeset comments, whatever imports procedure is used must have a<br>
number of flaws.<br>
<br>
2. import administrative boundaries<br>
<br>
2a. as a mesh of closed ways (where most people would prefer relations),<br>
<br>
2b. with, among other things, the tags "_Shape_Area_=yes",<br>
"addrcountry=Canada" (no colon!), "addr:postcode" (which is not<br>
generally used for objects that do not represent an address), and<br>
"type=land_area" (which is not generally used on closed ways).<br>
<br>
2c. The combination of a level-8 admin boundary and place=village is<br>
also unusual (eg <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/616463020" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/616463020</a>)
but I<br>
cannot judge if this is normal in Canada. This is also used in<br>
residential areas <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/636390857" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/636390857</a>
- is this<br>
area really a "village"?<br>
<br>
3. use a ton of is_in tags which are highly unusual nowadays<br>
<br>
4. occasionally change existing relations (not ways) from type=boundary<br>
to type=land_area (<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8417484/history" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8417484/history</a>)<br>
<br>
5. add addr:postcode and addr:province to place=village nodes<br>
<br>
6. revert corrections applied to this by other users, claiming that "The<br>
video and instructions state these can be part of the ways"<br>
<br>
A number of people have complained in the past<br>
<a href="http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=698649&commented" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=698649&commented</a><br>
but many of the issues seem to be present still.<br>
<br>
Before I ask him to fix this -- are any of the behaviours / mapping<br>
techniques outlined above somehow usual in Canada?<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
