Hi

I have the following requirement for a new software project:

Given a way, for example a hiking route, I'd like to attach some
attributes to this way. But the attributes should not apply to the
entire way but only a section of the way. The sections can even overlap,
like multiple layers of metadata per way.

The following example hopefully clarifies  what I mean:

Given a 10km long way, the following attributes should be applied -
Section [0km - 5km]: Attribute A (Value X)
- Section [5km - 10km]: Attribute A (Value Y)
- Section [2km - 8km]: Attribute B (Value F)

Simply put, you have 4 ways:
way 1 (0-2km) with tags A=X
way 2 (2-5km) with tags A=X and B=F
way 3 (5-8km) with tags A=Y and B=F
way 4 (8-10km) tags A=Y

Splitting ways to facilitate tags per section is one of the more basic features of the OSM datalayout. Common reasons to split ways are different names or different maximum speeds.

Regards,
Maarten
