Confused with tags

0

Hi,

I am new in here. I was trying to clean the data in my neighbourhood. However I'm in a fix with some tags.

Can someone please explain them?

  1. 'AND_a _c': '10001023' in Chakdaha.
  2. 'AND_a _nosr _r': '15064585' in Janglpara.
  3. 'AND_ a_ w': '10000549' in Hugli
  4. 'GNS:id': '-2090988' in Beliaghata Canal.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The AND data is mentioned here and is likely referencing the source of the data in each changeset https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/India/Data_sources https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/AND_Data

Woow! That's an awesome post. Thanks for your time and help. :) Just one more thing, can you say something about GNS:id?

Could be this I suppose as a source for the name in the changeset https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GEOnet_Names_Server - thanks Google

I thought that too. However a "-" sign before that is confusing. Anyway! It's a great post. Thank you so much.

The example on the wiki page has a leading minus sign too, so I guess it's intentional. But perhaps it's some botched signed integer wrap-around... (in which case, the tag's value would be the correct value minus some power of two)
