[OHM] temporal data in the OHM sandbox

[Robert Warren]

Erik,

I've been using the start and end dates as well. I would prefer we use something like life_cycle [1] for structure status since this will better track what structure is in what state. Today's ruins are yesterday's town hall.

Rendering is something we still need to work on. Suggest more tagging data is better than less tagging data - it's easier to delete superfluous data later rather than re-creating it.
