Massachusetts GIS Pruning Import Plan
About
This plan describes how Massachusetts mappers propose to remove attributes from the data that was previously imported from MassGIS. This will be multi-step data removal process starting with several attributes from the highway import.
Import Plan Outline
When highways were imported from the Mass GIS database they included three tags that MAY have no value.
- Increase the length of the JOSM "Tag/Membership" window enough to require the user to frequently scroll or re-size the window.
- The massgis:way_id adds an additional step when combining road segments. (id's must be deleted or combined)

Goals
To delete the following KEYs based on Value from WAYS and/or NODES
- source~"mass_gis_import"(both ways & nodes are tagged)
- attribution~"Office of Geographic" (both ways & nodes are tagged)
- massgis:way_id=* (only the way is tagged)
These artifact tags are a burden
- Increasing the size of the database.

OSM Data Files
Link to your source data files that you have prepared for the import - e.g. the .osm files you have derived from the data sources.
Import Type
Identify if this is a one-time or recurring import and whether you'll be doing it with automated scripts, etc.
Identify what method will be used for entering the imported data into the OSM database - e.g. API, JOSM, upload.py, etc.
Data Preparation
Data Reduction & Simplification
Describe your plans, if any, to reduce the amount of data you'll need to import.
Examples of this include removing information that is already contained in OSM or simplifying shapefiles.

Workflow
The Peace-meal Process
In overpass-turbo using the wizard query.
- type:way and (source~"massgis_import" or attribution~"Office of Geographic" or massgis:way_id=*) and highway=* in "Bedford,Massachusetts"
- Select Export
- Select JOSM
In JOSM
- Selection Menu - Select All
- Tags/Membership window, delete tags source, attribution & massgis:way_id
- Selection Menu - Select All Way Nodes
- Tags/Membership window, delete Keys source, attribution
- File menu - Upload Data
- Upload Window "Provide brief comment...." insert "Deleting legacy massgis tags from original imported data.
- Source Window "Turbo-Overpass query and type:way and highway=residential in "Massachusetts"
- Upload
Detail the steps you'll take during the actual import.
