[Tagging] [OSM-talk-be] Where do source tags belong?

[Jo]

off list:

André, I'm in the process of ending the addition of 37000 stops of De Lijn
to OSM. None of them have the holy source tags and still I'm able to
compute which ones still need to be done.

So I'm not worried about getting bitten in the back.

I have a system in place which works and which doesn't rely on source tags.

It only relies on ref tags (and operator for the Overpass query)

I know that you know how to bulk add source tags, the explanation was only
there for when you were going to insisit on adding them yourself. You can,
if you want, but I'm not going to. Just like I stopped doing so for the
ones of De Lijn. That's right*, *I started by adding them just like anybody
else would.

Then I started reading the imports list and came to the conclusion they
clutter the DB AND it's not clear afterwards which tag they refer to
anyway, or whether they refer to the position.

So I tend to understand your concern, but I don't happen to share it and
this is based on practical experience built up over the past years, doing
exactly what we want to do with the TEC data: importing stops and creating
route relations based on them.
