[OSM-talk] obsolete TIGER-tags

[Paul Norman]

Aside from the automatically dropped tags there are:

 

tiger:cfcc

tiger:county

tiger:name_base

tiger:name_direction_suffix

tiger:name_direction_prefix

tiger:name_type

tiger:reviewed

tiger:zip_left

tiger:zip_right

 

My practice is to drop county if the county relation exists and is valid,
cfcc if I've reviewed or changed the highway=* classification and
tiger:name* tags if I've expanded the name.

 

cfcc is the only one that requires explanation of the meaning. This is the
road classification within TIGER and was used to determine the initial
highway=* value but cfcc does not map to highway=* values particularly well.
I wouldn't give this much weight, you can often do better from aerial
imagery than the TIGER classifications. They're particularly off for
forestry roads.

 

I never know what to do with tiger:reviewed or the ZIP tags. 

 

If I've removed all of the TIGER tags but still feel the source to be TIGER
I add source=TIGER 2005

Hi,

because of Operation Cowboy many users will become into contact with
TIGER-tags and don't really now ho to deal with them.

There are:

tiger:cfcc
tiger:county
tiger:name_base
tiger:name_direction_suffix
tiger:name_direction_prefix
tiger:name_type
tiger:reviewed
tiger:seperated
tiger:source
tiger:tlid
tiger:upload_uuid
tiger:zip_left
tiger:zip_right

Which of above tags are obsolete and should be removed after checking the
object against aerial image and gps-tracks?

Henning
