Could you use this to do historic mapping?

Actually don’t think start_date/end_date are yet noticed by the rendering system. We’re pushing the envelope

Hey, good work.

Of course ephemeral is pretty subjective. Looking at it from an historical or archaeological perspective pretty much everything exists for a relatively short period of time and would naturally have a start_date/end_date (or period, or either).

Cheers,

I like this much better than the map that the Solar Decathlon team has put together: http://www.solardecathlon.org/map.cfm

Thanks!

Definitely – though not start_date, that implies that a feature just doesn’t exist before/after a date.

What you want to look at are the access (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access) and time restriction (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Time_restricted_tags) tags.

Could this be used for something like the Rock Creek Parkway that is one-way for certain hours of the day?
