There are often responses on these lists that 'we' do not want data type
'X' in the main OSM database - it should be in a separate one.

So, if you are proposing to set up a separate database and show how it
could be lined to OSM, that would be really good.

I am afraid I could not work out what the ontology meant - is it a database
schema, or a template for how to describe graves in XML?

There has been quite a bit of discussion about mapping historical things
here recently and I wonder if this could be incorporated into some sort of
general 'historicOSM' database?

Sorry for being dense!


Graham.
