Hi all, I recently added operating hours for Vancouver's Science World ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/37084312 ) but what I see presented to the public looks like mangled information from poor parsing. I'm wondering if the data is just not being provided in a user-friendly way by OSM, or I've inputted the data incorrectly causing it to display it as such. |

The data is presented exactly as it is in the database; no effort is made by the OSM web site to parse the information because the OSM web site is not intended to be a public-facing POI directory. Other websites that use OSM data can (and do) parse the data and present it nicely. The data you entered looks correct to me. 2
Thanks for clarifying. I was unaware the OSM website wasn't intended to be referenced by the public directly. This doesn't appear to be communicated anywhere obvious.

Well, according to the opening hours validator, the data is in fact not quite correct:

@DavidMetcalfe : Frederik said "not a public-facing POI director, not "referenced by the public". If you look at something like openlinkmap you can see opening times in a different format. OSM has thousands of different uses, no way will the main site accomodate them all.

Opening hours fixed now. Here's an example of a tool that uses the data: http://www.openlinkmap.org/?lat=49.27345799999972&lon=-123.10360949999637&zoom=17&id=37084312&type=way
