  Here's the change, about 1 week after the article was published. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/11751043 https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/11751043 The commit doesn't have a comment, but a new field 'note: position after movement estimated' was added by the committer. A year later another mapper added building color and material, last year a mapper added the full address and today somebody added the building name "Oerlikon" because that's what people usually refer to (Openstreetmap's search updates almost minutely).

  There's no technical enforcement of the persistence though. It could be the same objects with different coordinates, completely new objects or objects that used to be a lake and are now a building. So you can say that OpenStreetMap doesn't formally model the move, but it might be reflected in the changes to the objects that make up the building. I wouldn't be surprised if other systems are similar in not actually modeling moves specifically but having some evidence for a move in the data (maybe just a human readable note of the move).
