[OSM-newbies] data source

[Arunmozhi]

Generally the OSM data gives information only about the node and the
information about that node (it may be POI or just a point on a path).
So there is no possibility to know the source from the xml file as
such.

If you want you can go online and include the data option from the OSM
map and hit the node or path you are interested to know about and look
at its history. You might find the source or at least you can get in
touch with the person who put it there.

I think this will help you.
