perhaps end_before and start_after tags to denote known data for variants. and as i've said in another message, i have come around to using route relation tagging similar to what Leon Karcher is using in Germany for situations where the geometry is the same but the tagging needs to be different. one reason for this approach is that it's fairly easy to manage the overpass queries for extracting specific data and then process the tags cleanly. richard -- [email protected] Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search _______________________________________________ Historic mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic
