Thanks David, If I understand correctly, your position on this issue is that:
- Creation of OSM-compliant natural hazard data should be encouraged - This data might not be stored in the main OSM repository (planet.xml) - This data should be consistent with existing tags and ontologies - This data should be rendered with appropriate symbology In other words, we should aim at a fork-project (openhazardmap.org for instance) that will: - Store specific hazard-related data - Store TMS specifications for appropriate rendering - Mashup the hazard data on appropriate data from planet.xml Am I right? Anyone having a different opinion? Cheers, Stéphane -- "Le mot progrès n'aura aucun sens tant qu'il y aura des enfants malheureux" -- Albert Einstein "A journey does not need reasons.
