Glen, thank you for sharing your experience! Yes, we did spend sime time already figuring out the proper tags and were wondering if we should continue with refining details (pointless if the features would not be imported).
I am familiar with produce/trees/crop/species sub tags and we do plan to preserve this info where present (olive trees, hop garden, vine plant nursery...). The unresolved issue is that source contains 2 types of orchards: - id=1222: domestic, garden-like, non-dense, with few older, not purposely planted, but casually taken care-of various fruit trees around houses and - id=1221: intensively cared for, larger areas of young, regularly pruned trees of same species planted in rows after rows. Includes fruit, berries and nuts I was conidering landuse=plantation for the later one, but that tag is not widely used, nor documented well. Is there an established alternative? Then there is a third somwhat similar area: - id=1240: "other permanently planted areas" which might contain either dog rose bushes, elder trees, rowan trees, older non-intensive vines and similar Photo examples are available in http://rkg.gov.si/GERK/documents/RABA_IntKljuc_20131009.pdf (search for the id number) We did not dig into the various wetland areas yet (id 1321, 4100, 4210 and 4220). Any expert opinions on those areas?
