[Tagging] optimizing the payment tag

2011-03-16 Thread Flaimo
i would like to rewrite the wiki page for payment so there is a
consistent payment:payment method=yes/no scheme (like the fuel types
for example). currently there is a mixture of boolean and list values
which is not good for programmatic processing. i posted this to the
comments of the page a couple of weeks ago, but got just one response,
that was positive though. so i wanted to check with the tagging
mailing list too. any suggestions or objections?

2011-03-18 Thread Flaimo
i think you misread the proposal. you don't tag any capacity tags on a
single parking space. and all common properties can also be defined in
the relation, so no need to tag every single space either. Quote:
General tags ... defined in the relation are inherited by the
elements inside the collection as long as not mapped otherwise.

the naming for single spaces, as also the usage of the existing
amenity=parking is already in discussion in the comments of the
proposal.

 ridiculous to add capacity=1, and other subtags on every single
 parking space inside a bigger parking area. Instead amenity=parking
 would be used for the whole parking facility and another (new) tag
 like parking=lot (or whatever english wording is suitable) would be
 used to indicate single spaces.

maybe someone experienced with bots could write one that splits up
payment:credit_cards=card_1;card_2;card_3 into payment:card_1=yes +
payment:card_2=yes + payment:card_n=yes. same goes for
payment:fuel_cards, payment:local_transport and other

 Im in favour of this.  Changing to a common boolean scheme such as that
 makes it easier to answer yes/no questions when initially mapping, and
 also easier to process.  The only concern Id have would be migrating
 from all the currently existing schemes to the new one, since payment is
 in use more now than fueltypes was when that was suggested.

 I do not see a good reason to use amenity=parking on the individual
 parking spaces within a larger parking area. Instead, I would prefer to
 keep using amenity=parking a closed way that covers the entire parking
 area and contains the individual parking spaces. I would then use a
 different tag for individual parking spaces (parking_lot=yes if there
 are no better ideas). Besides of requiring one tag less per feature, it
 would not contradict current usage of amenity=parking, and would make it
 a bit easier for renderers that want to ignore individual parking spaces
 (which is a sensible cartographic decision for many use cases).

my original version used new tags for all three elements, but a user
in the comments suggested to explicitly use amenity=parking for
compatibility reasons and to slowly force renderers to adapt this
mapping scheme.


 I also suggest to allow nodes for parking spaces. Areas are the obvious
 choice *if* you use high-res satellite imagery. But without imagery, it
 still makes sense to map individual parking spaces for special interest
 groups from surveyed information. This is where a node is the
 appropriate solution until more detailed data becomes available.
 Accepting both nodes and areas to accommodate different detail levels of
 data is good practice for other features, e.g. those in the shop and
 amenity categories.

good argument. i changed the proposal accordingly.

 IMHO no need for a relation, as the amenity=parking around it already
 gives you this information. You would need the capacity if you won't
 differentiate between area (several parking spaces) and space (one
 parking space), which I'd encourage (it is the same feature, just
 differing in size/capacity, so better use just one tag instead of 2
 IMHO).

i don't agree with that, because only the physical areas where, for
example a car, can park is a parking space/area, but not for example
the street itself. the current mapping scheme by using a big area over
the whole parking facility is just inaccurate and comes from times
where mappers didn't have satellite images available and couldn't
accurately map such areas. what you actually would need is a
landuse=parking and a amenity=parking. the first describes the whole
parking facility, the second the actual parking spaces.

take this parking lot for example: http://osm.org/go/0JhJenH8g-- . how
should a renderer or routing programm know, that those individual
parking spaces actually are one big lot? that's the whole purpose of
the proposal, so a more accurate mapping of the individual elements is
possible. if you want to use the current inaccurate mapping scheme you
can still do that by not using don't use parking_type and a relation.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - parking (redux)

2011-03-18 Thread Flaimo
ok, i see what you mean now. use amenity=parking for the whole
facility, and the new tags for defining the elements inside. that only
works without a relation as long as you only have one logical parking
lot that's not split up in different areas. but parking lots, on
airports for example, are often separated by official roads which are
not part of the parking lot. therefore you would map two
amenity=parking areas and then you need the relation anyway. and what
about situations where parts of the area are not part of
amenity=parking? exclude them by creating a multipolygon relation for
that spot? doesn't make things easier. also inheritance of properties
would be more complicated in the long run. that's exactly why the
relation=site proposal was written (which, according to the comments,
is already used a lot) and why i based my proposal on that.

i'll mention your concern in the comments of the proposal and let's
see what the other users think.

on terms of the interpretation of amenity=parking. i don't see why the
purpose couldn't be further refined by an additional tag. it is done
this way for highway=service + service=* for example.

 I don't understand this. Inheritance of properties is implicit in
 multipolygon relations.

take a look at the example for the car rental:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Big_car_rental_service.png
it's about inheriting general values defined in the relations and
subrelations. i think with just a multipolygon this is not possible.
but i actually consider multipolygon relations more complicated to
understand than the site relation.

just relying on a surrounding amenity=parking area without a relation
also has another flaw: underground parking. basically nobody maps
underground parking facilities as areas with layer=-1. all of those i
have seen so far in OSM are mapped as nodes at the entrances. and that
is the problem. underground parking facilities often have more than
one entrance. right now, each entrance is interpreted as its own
parking lot. the relation would group them together to one parking
facility.

 the site relation is indeed used a lot (around 128.000 times) but IMHO
 needed only for details like where is the ticket office, where is the
 main entrance, which would be a suggested label position (render
 hint), etc. and there is no application that I know of (in contrary to
 multipoly) which takes site relations into account.

labeling position is not mentioned in the parking proposal and i also
don't think that it is important right now. it would be a nice
benefit, though. also the site relation for parking could be part of a
bigger site relation which would represent a consistent mapping stile.
that nobody interprets it is not the mappers or the mapping schemes
fault. sticking with an older and, in my opinion, less suitable
method, because map and routing programmers don't keep up with new
developments, shouldn't be the way to go. otherwise we still wouldn't
have the new public transport scheme, which also is also used a lot
and still isn't interpreted in mapnik.

 I am not sure if it is a good idea to put all these new tags into the

i think, that it doesn't really matter under which key parking spaces
and entrances are mapped. which one would you suggest? the parking key
is already taken.

 If I get this right you suggest to consider amenity=parking as
 preliminary and to replace it with amenity=parking_space for single
 parking lots or groups of them, connected with relations?

you can use amenity=parking_space it, but you don't have to. as stated
in the proposal there are situations where it is actually not possible
to do detailed mapping. that's when you should continue to use the
current amenity=parking.

 I think this is too complicated for most cases.

as stated in the proposal, it is meant for complicated parking
situations, not every single parking lot. you can use it though if you
like to do detailed mapping. it is definitely easier to understand,
than for example the proposal for public transport which is already
widely used.

I suggest to continue
 the use of an area with amenity=parking for outline of the whole
 facility and optionally parking=parking_space for single or groups of
 actual parking spaces (plus optionally all subtags for all kind of
 details as suggested).

as mentioned in previous mails as also in the proposal, areas for
grouping don't work out.

 maybe it would be easier to split this up in 2 proposals: one for
 parking_spaces and one for complex parking relations.


while you could use amenity=parking_space for itself,
amenity=parking_entrance doesn't make much sense without the context
of the relation which holds the information of the actual
(underground) parking facility. if you want to use
amenity=parking_space without a relation, you could do so, but then
you could stick with amenity=parking anyway.

[Tagging] your opinion on a delete/change key

2011-04-15 Thread Flaimo
recently i stumbled across one of my edits i did over a year ago. i
mapped a new house with building=construction and the area around it
with landuse=construction. i totally forgot about that, and since
there don't seem to be any other mappers close by, nobody removed the
construction tag even though the house has been finished a long time
ago.
so i thought, maybe it would be nice to have some tags to handle
situations like this:

1) delete = ISO datetime

elements (node, way, area, relation) tagged with this key could be
deleted after the date given (as long as they don't share any data
with other elements)


2) delete:Key = ISO date

same as the key above, but only deletes the line for the referenced
key (if it still exists at the time)


change:Key = 2011-04-11T12:22:22;Value

same as delete:Key, but instead of deleting the line it would change
the value for the referenced key. if the key doesn't yes exists or
doesn't exists anymore, it gets added.

so in my case i would have added a delete=2011-01-31T00:00:00 to the
area tagged with landuse=construction (which was over a bigger
landuse=residential area) and a
change:building=2011-01-31T00:00:00;house to the building, which at
that point was still tagged with building=construction. bots then
could check the database on a daily basis for those tags and
delete/change them accordingly.

what's your opinion on that? if the overall response is positive, i
could start a proposal for it.

 I think the  number of tags in this kind of proposal would balloon
 quickly, so let me suggest instead that tags of this nature be put on
 the changeset, with a then request to bot authors to check object
 history and changesets, rather than more tags on the object.

 In other words, use the changeset to hold this (what I think of as)
 metadata, rather than the object itself.

i don't understand on how that would be the case. after execution of
the task the corresponding tag gets deleted anyway since they are only
temporarily.
i can't see on how changesets should be better. you would have to
start a changeset per deadline and that's even more complicated, since
it cannot be done easily within tag editors. also fellow mappers would
never know that someone else already has a changeset prepared, since
mostly people check the tags only.

 I understand it's debatable whether to include the sidewalk into the

 If we agree that sidewalks should be mapped as linear highway=footway (I
 know there's discussion on this point, I'm making a supposition), then we
 should have two different area features (or multipolys or whatever), one
 with area:highway=unclassified/residential/whatever and another one with
 area:highway=footway. In simpler terms, I wouldn't use area:highway to cover
 the whole right-of-way area.

the reason for that might be, than no editor supports the contact:
syntax. personally, i always use it and type it in manually without
the JOSM preset, because it makes locating all the contact information
in long tag lists much easier. same goes for addr:, payment: and fuel:
hopefully in the future, when tag list tend to become longer and have
to be scrolled all the time, editors implement some sort of collapse

Re: [Tagging] website=*url* vs. contact:website=*url*

2011-05-12 Thread Flaimo
when was the topic of webcams ever mentioned? they have nothing to do
with this topic. also we are not talking about what counts as a
contact information and what not. pretty much everybody agrees that
phone, fax, e-mail and website are seen as contact information,
probably because millions of people put those on their business cards.
the topic is whether to use the contact namespace for those (four)
keys or not.

the numbers you list are like that because, as i mentioned before,
most use the presets for tagging. if the presets would be changed to
use the contact: prefix, the situation would be exactly the contrary
in two years. so we should list advantages and disadvantages of a
namespace and think about if it might make sense to group them under
contact: in the future by modifying the presets. existing tag could
easily be changed to the namespace (or the other way around) by a
simple one time batch job in the database.

 OSM allows everybody to tag whatever he likes, which is great. Still I
 don't think that a website is contact-information, like a phone
 number is. Neither has contact:webcam anything to do with contact.
 Actual usage shows that the whole contact is a typical wiki
 stillbirth:

 108398 website (wiki page created  20:17, 3 April 2008 )
 240537 url (wiki page created  23:19, 8 May 2008 )
 4332 contact:website (wiki page created 08:06, 22 January 2009 )

 For the disputed phonenumbers (many mappers argue that phonenumbers
 are no geoinformation) the situation is similar:
 88147 phone
 9015 contact:phone

 Btw.: there is (still) 0 contact:addr:street and 0
 contact:addr:housenumber in the database.

something like that should be handled in a seperate proposal, though i

 Yes. You are currently concentrating on the micro level, but there
 could be a suggestion for the intermediate scale between the whole
 complex and the micro level as well: de:Hof (engl. courtyard)

 This is often also expressed indirectly in addresses with the German
 terms Seitenfl?gel (side wing), Vorderhaus (front building),
 Hinterhaus (rear building), 2. Hinterhaus (second rear building =
 2nd courtyard rear building), etc.)

Re: [Tagging] access=avoid

2011-06-14 Thread Flaimo
the wiki page doesn't say that the restriction need to be of a legal
kind. access=no could also mean that it is physically not accessible
even though it might be allowed legally. on the other hand, i don't
see avoid as a value, but rather as some sort of additional
information like description. so, just like
wheelchair:description, you could use hgv:avoid=yes/no.

 you are actually missusing the access-tag because it is intended for
 legal restrictions and not for recommendations. Why not use another
 tag? Their number is not limited...

Re: [Tagging] Reviving the conditions debate

2012-06-14 Thread Flaimo
With the access 1.5 and default opening_hours syntax it would look like this:

define the rules for forward and backward:

• access!forwardrule.time=Mo-Fr 16:00-18:00
• access!forwardrule.direction=forward
• access!backwardrule.time=Mo-Fr 06:00-09:00
• access!backwardrule.direction=backward

apply them to motorized vehicles:

• access:motorized?forwardrule=no
• access:motorized?backwardrule=no

define a more specific mode+role combination which outweights the
rules applied to motorized

• access:motorizedagricultural=yes
• access:motorizeddelivery=yes

 Here's a test case. No motor vehicles mon-fri between 1600-1800 except
 agricultural vehicles and good vehicles *in this direction*. Going the
 other way the sign is similar but the times are between 0600 and 0900.
 This is a short stretch of narrow road and the restrictions are intended
 to stop commuters using it as a rat-run, while at the same time allowing
 work to carry on as usual on the farms and businesses along that road.

 I think I found a solution using a self-defined rule:
  access:motor_vehicle!rule.time=10:00-18:00
  access:motor_vehicle!rule.width=5+
  access:motor_vehicle?rule=no

 Can this be simplified somehow (using the 1.5 proposal)?

 Hi!

 Maybe someone can help me defining the following access restriction
 using the 1.5 proposal:
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Length_and_time_restriction_2.jpg


alternate version:

access:motorized.time=Mo-Su 00:00-10:00,18:00-24:00
access!shortvehicle.length=5
access:motorized?shortvehicle.time=24/7

 I tried to express this with the other proposal. I got this:
 motor_vehicle:(Mo-Fr 16:00-18:00):forward=no
 agricultural:(Mo-Fr 16:00-18:00):forward=yes
 goods:(Mo-Fr 16:00-18:00):forward=yes

 motor_vehicle:(Mo-Fr 06:00-09:00):forward=no
 agricultural:(Mo-Fr 06:00-09:00):forward=no
 goods:(Mo-Fr 06:00-09:00):forward=no

 I assume here, that agricultural and goods are more specific than
 motor_vehicle. Any chance of simplifying this?

this notation has the same flaw as the current access scheme. it mixes
transportation modes and user roles. motor_vehicle is a
transportation mode. agricultural is a user role. not everywhere on
this planet agricultural automatically means motor_vehicle. that
is what the 1.5 proposal tries to solve.

 How can we resolve this? It seems obvious that we need either 2 tags
 for agricultural (according to the legislation, either a vehicle class
 or a use case is intended), or we accept that the same tag has
 different meanings in different legislations/countries. Personally I
 am in favour of an additional tag. We could also have 2 new tags:
 agricultural_use and agricultural_vehicle to make it unambiguous,
 and to deprecate the unclear agricultural.

very easy. use the 1.5 proposal :-). for germany you could use
access:motorizedagricultural=yes. in developing countries, where
motor vehicles are not common for most people, you could just use the
role: access:agricultural=yes. That is the whole purpose of splitting
user roles and transportation modes. and you don't run into the risk
of a germanification of openstreetmap by always taking the german
law or other western country laws as the basis for all tagging rules
and leave out underrepresented countries.
