Description

It would be great if additional metadata could be added as properties to each feature. In particular the vintage of the imagery the footprint was extracted from. That would help with data cleaning and join with other data sets, like when there is a discrepancy in the data sets (i.e. is a building new, or was it demolished).

Height information would also be really useful.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how each building feature currently stores and exports properties. Determine whether imagery vintage and height information are available for the generated footprints and how they could support joins with other datasets. Done means the requested metadata is consistently exposed for each feature, with the available values and limitations clear.
