    66[wiki:/Help/Concepts/Object Nodes, ways, and relations] created or modified in JOSM are only available locally unless they are ''published'' on a server to make them useful for other mappers. The process of publishing data is called '''uploading'''.

    8 Because there are hundreds of mappers publishing their geo-data on the OSM server it is important to track who published what data in which context. It would be tedious for mappers to describe for every singe node and every single way why it is published. A more convenient approach is to package a group of related objects and assign the package a comment,  not the individual objects. This way, if a mapper maps his or her neighborhood, he or she can upload a package of nodes and ways and assign it a comment "`mapped and reviewed some ways in foo city`".

    1010In JOSM such a package is called a '''changeset'''. A '''changeset''' is a collection of related changes (new objects, object modifications, or object deletings) applied to OSM data.

    1919A changeset is initially opened and it stays '''open''' until it is closed. A JOSM user can explicitly close one or more of his open changesets. If he doesn't close them, the OSM server will close open changeset automatically after a timeout. A changeset which isn't open is called '''closed'''. It stays closed forever and can't be reopened.

    21 A changeset you open is ''owned'' by you. No other mapper can publish data in this changset and you can't upload your data in other users changesets.
