[Talk-GB] How to work with Government Open Data (e.g. Boundaries, Rights of Way)

[Nick Whitelegg]

What I wouldn't personally like is a mess where the Hampshire ROW line *and* the line on the ground are *both* in OSM. This would make the data messy and confusing to work with.

In cases like this maybe the ROW has, to all intents and purposes, shifted and the Hampshire data is out-of-date.

Personally I would prefer that the Hants ROW data is *only* used to add *new, unmapped paths* to OSM and not to adjust existing paths - unless the existing path was mapped with some degree of uncertainty.

Yeah, I think it might me a slow process but if there is a clear problem then may still be worth writing in to start the ball rolling. 

By keeping RoW and paths separate what do you mean? Add a way with a designation=public_footpath (for example) without the highway tag?
