The data user shall indicate the data source in every publication of data or products. Such indications
shall include the following data: "Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia, the
type of data and the time to which the data refer and/or the date of the database."
a json with required attribution (a sort of updated local countrywide.json distributed with the zip file itself)
include attribution with every row in the .csv (machine would collect them, and list all the unique attributions in the final attribution)
include date with every row in the .csv (machine would collect them, and list all the unique attributions in the final metadata, or provide a range)
check the timestamp of csv within the zip file
A simple, but not exact solution would be to allow some placeholder replacement within attribution text (eg to replace {yyyy-mm-dd} with current date and {yyyy} with the current year).
Some source licenses require attribution to include a date of the source data. Eg Slovenia: http://www.e-prostor.gov.si/fileadmin/struktura/ANG/General_terms.pdf
To keep it simple for Slovenia i have reduced the "date" component of attribution to a year-only precision in /sources/si/countrywide.json, but updates have to be done via pull requests and update from 2017 to 2018 is still waiting in https://github.com/openaddresses/openaddresses/pull/3470 (see
sources/si/countrywide.json)Ideally there would be a way to extract some metadata from the source and allow that changes to attribution to be automated.
The daily prepared souce zip file for slovenia contains a .txt file with exact date, but that could easily be changed to provide the date in some other way, eg:
