[Imports] Question on data uploads to OSM

[de Roulet Pablo Txomin Harpo]

Hello Marc, 

Thank you for the quick answer and for the reference to this site. Our first idea was to have one account for the platform, but if I understand well, you are advising that each data collector should have a separate OSM account ?

Best, 
Pablo

since your data is based on osm, your case is close to wheelmap https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/wheelmap_visitor
it have a user to send anonymous user data. obviously it's even better if the users have the possibility to use an osm account, this allows you to communicate with them.

if this principle suits you, i think it's enough to check the data you have and the correspondence with the right tags. ideally (or obligatorily according to your terms of use) you should ask the users for their agreement to the use of the licence, at least if the data doesn't belong to you

Marc
