Oh, where did image=* and scraper_microdata:date=* come from?
2 ~ 12 days agoGlassman Microdata_scraper is a plugin in for JOSM that looks for Schema.org information in from the website tag. It's great for pulling information into OSM with little work. See https://gitlab.com/vucod/microdata-scraping and schema.org.

BTW - I have been interested in schema.org for a long time.

Thanks. I added back some info you removed instead of reformatting. Was there a reason you removed e.g. phone=*?
2 ~ 17 days agoGlassman Mainly because I'm tired of SeO companies dumping trash in OSM that we have to fix. This one was close to just being deleted. Over the years, I've seen so many garbage SEO edits that I'm just tired of them.

"Abandoned" to me implies that no one holds a lease to the property, not just that someone isn't currently using it. I wouldn't say someone on vacation has abandoned their home, for instance.
