-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I usually go with a node just because it is a bit more resilliant in case of odd situations. For example a town/village that is multiple clusters of buildings separated by a river or some other feature. For these a node is the only option unless you want to multipolygon the areas.
As for putting it on the area, it does make it a bit easier to calculate the size of the village in something like GIS software, however assosciating the nodes/areas is a simple spatial query anyway so I think the node still probably makes more sense. - -AndrewBuck On 10/28/2015 04:53 AM, Pete Masters wrote: > Hi all, > > If you are adding field data to an existing shape > (landuse=residential), would you tag the shape as place=village / > name=whatever or would you add a node and tag the node. > > I've generally done the latter, but am seeing quite a few villages > in Chad that conform to the former. > > Is there a best practice here? > > Cheers, > > Pete > > > > > _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list > [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJWMLQOAAoJEK7RwIfxHSXb9EoP/2M8novhPaGbpxsjUcVYuFwP Hxty05d7iqwVpMqcXO4gciDiYdoW2qF8TlGt1U+tWwm7S66KqQTLQizHssHXskZy Uqr71UlKUTzsrKHXvDPeQz3EXQ0ecKj1pTMdFSA7qdm8iZoklpul1P6BC00yRUwA IttEpLMrBdaLWWwkoJTGrFQ2Dlb+7vuOsLMbq42NwjsHX2EPcSDlh4x7EGrNbZ4h DrWJ7Wy5HrhxkHAy2pf5tQevKCc0nG0KVG9m0RtcHayHwPPmDXnq7Nswpzs1BGLd ddaKk/8lZKMoC7/4Uw3ZSRYC09fYUbENppeXvcnrtr16DruNU0K7+rIWXhOyWykp Ix3OxtCbH6bqkT/yaIyIcn41F0Li73I0CXcXuVcojT9VQViq2mn86/TLLfYHZUJM V/7u5AB2OmGYhwdGUrGez/8noXZZGBST1Z/AtAwCO9GLT/2mA1efxh2esKnD15RM mkCHmTra4hwZMYDHnoi+UNLrRfIKlsRXEMU2amEtYEkk3fQLn3OFvVl4jCEZq6Cv +qOVB33PJLA+AWpiEDz3zt8m/suMpG3u850jVSxYiTvP5d5aV2jVWuyyOZtqD3I2 2hkJYq5xJOmDgcHyRrNFDGasDKK4mB/KaQYFalBT8bMx7Jw4otHSJUDRRn5Xu7Oy UsupTTVRc6Ts/jFcMqlT =qZ21 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
