I remove the "tiger:reviewed" tag, insert (or append to) a "source" tag
with values:
yahoo_imagry [sic] (mis-spelled for consistency with current usage);
usgs_imagery;
image (for my own picture);
survey (I drove the area);
local_knowledge (from my own recollection);
local_government (local city/county/state maps or GIS system)
tiger_2008 (I manually consulted TIGER 2008)
I then populate source_ref or source_url with an appropriate value,
like my own photo # or URL of the site or map I consulted
(out-of-copyright sources only, of course).
BTW, can someone confirm that I'm doing the right thing by
separating multiple values for a tag with a semicolon (';'),
like "survey;image;yahoo_imagry;local_government" ?
BTW2, in getting a list of my values, I noticed that, while
imported TIGER ways contain:
<tag k='tiger:source' v='tiger_import_dch_v0.6_20070809' />,
nodes instead contain:
<tag k='source' v='tiger_import_dch_v0.6_20070809' />
('source', not 'tiger:source').
