Hello everyone,

I downloaded Latest Netherlands pbf data from Geofabrick yesterday. I process the data by reading the raw data into a sql data structure. There are some data tags that show up on the OSM web site but not in the data I downloaded from GeoFabrik. For example, wayid = 7982080 (Un-named River), there is no tag downloaded from Geofabrik. However, If I do an extract from the OSM website for that area, I do see a tag = "natural" value = "water" for that river (wayid = 7982080). Geofabrik site says the data is updated daily. This data was there on the OSM site a few days ago when I extracted the data but still not in Netherlands download from Geofabrik. Can anyway shed some light on this for me? Is it just a matter of waiting some more time for this data and eventually shows up or is there more to it?

Way 7982080 actually has no tags on it but is part of a multipolygon that has tags.

Whatever you're using to process the data is presumably doing some multipolygon processing (perhaps to make it easier for rendering)?

It looks like I should have been looking at the relation that defines the multipolygon. Relationid = 1462311 has the tag for natural = water.

thank you.
