Discussion - re-adding or updating features as they change

[slibby]

One of the benefits of using authoritative data in this workflow is the assumption that a local municipality has the most up-to-date data and correct naming/attribution for most features. It appears that the GeoServices tool will allow a user to rapidly add a bunch of features, but what happens when attributes or geometries for those features change?

Is there any way to retain a link between the source feature and the node/way created in OSM? Just brainstorming here, but maybe since osm does not restrict tagging, a tag with source_oid=objectid or something?

pushing code which stores this as geoservice:objectid = {OBJECTID}

we are currently not storing objectid on OSM
