Hi,

I've imported v3 of the PAHO master list, see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Status/Hospitals#Version_3

*Statistics*
  * ~ 200 facilities in the PAHO master list are "new" (to the OSM 
database). I decided not to import them, though, because they are lumped 
together at similar positions.
  * ~40 facilities formerly present in the PAHO list have been removed. 
I didn't delete them automatically from the OSM database. Please help to 
manually reconcile the
     facilities in this list: 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Haiti/Status/Hospitals#Deleting_PAHO_Facilities_in_OSM.

*Compatibility with the HDM*
  * The tagging in the v3 import matches the tagging proposed in the 
Humanitarian Data Model as closely as possible.
  * Please note that v3 maps the unique PAHO id to the tag paho:id. The 
former tag health_facility:paho_id is removed because it isn't part of 
HDM (which is in some sense the "owner" of the prefix "health_facility") 
and because the ID section in HDM isn't fully stabilized yet.
  * PAHO attributes related to geo coding of PAHO facilities are mapped 
to tags with the prefix paho: too, mainly because the HDM section about 
the "Spatial Signature" of a HDM object isn't fully stabilized yet
   * For the same reasons, the v3 import uses a PAHO specific tag for 
damage assessment information in the PAHO list

Regards
Karl
