Re: [Tagging] trees and waterways

 No, that's exactly the same as 'oneway=no' on two-ways roads. When the tag
 is not present, we assume that the road is two ways. That's it. If it's
 wrong, then fix it by adding the oneway tag.
 It is the same for waterways and the direction of the way. If it's wrong,
 then reverse the direction of the way with your prefered editor. We have
 similar conventions for the coastline, we don't have/need a tag saying which
 side is the land and which side is the water and nobody complains.


+1, there is also other similar conventions like barrier=retaining_wall.

cheers,

This is detailing tags which have two parts to their meanings. Really
this is a form of shorthand which is convenient for those who know the
code, and not to those who don't comprehend the 'code'. What sort of a
difference does this make to the computed use of the data? We can only
make a decision on whether these conventions continue when we
understand how it affects the data use.
There are good arguments each way for the input of the data.

yes, it should be both (or could be also building=tower instead of yes).

I'm not sure.
I think, there are two general approaches to simulate a tree-style 
tagging scheme like this.
The first is to use more keys (as you do here with homeless_shelter:*), 
the second is to use more values and to concatenate multiple values by ; 
(like you will have at

homeless_shelter:meals_served=breakfast;lunch
(compare crossing=island;traffic_signals)

Both are good for some reasons:
using less keys provides easy access for the whole group of values;
using less values is more easy to parse and search - there is no string 
slicing needed.


But:
I would not mix these together.

Perhaps that's only my POV - feel free to argument against.

Ok, I'm following you.  Similar to amenity:recycling, many of the examples
in Crossing follow a yes/no model:

traffic_signals:soundhttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_signals:sound
=yes/nohttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:traffic_signals:sound%3Dyes/noaction=editredlink=1

traffic_signals:vibrationhttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_signals:vibration
=yes/nohttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:traffic_signals:vibration%3Dyes/noaction=editredlink=1

traffic_signals:arrowhttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_signals:arrow
=yes/nohttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:traffic_signals:arrow%3Dyes/noaction=editredlink=1
traffic_signals:minimaphttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_signals:minimap
=yes/nohttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:traffic_signals:minimap%3Dyes/noaction=editredlink=1

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:traffic_signals:minimap%3Dyes/noaction=editredlink=1However,
for a finite and relative small ( 10) set of values, I prefer a multivalued
value string like homeless_shelter:meals=breakfast;lunch over something
like this:

homeless_shelter:breakfast=yes
homeless_shelter:lunch=yes
homeless_shelter:dinner=no

For amenity:recycling, there is no limit to what could be recycled so I
think it makes more sense to follow the yes/no model as a single value could
get extremely large.  The same appears to go for traffic_signals (I never
thought you could break those down so discretely!).

Both are good for some reasons:
 using less keys provides easy access for the whole group of values;
 using less values is more easy to parse and search - there is no string
 slicing needed.

 But:
 I would not mix these together.


I prefer consistency as well but I think I would only apply that for a
particular tag.  To continue the meals example, homeless_shelter:meals could
be defined as a multivalued list from a set of known values (e.g.
{no;breakfast;lunch;dinner;takeout}) while a list of programs/services
offered by the shelter would follow the yes/no model:

+ homeless_shelter:lodging=yes
+ homeless_shelter:meals=no
+ homeless_shelter:job_placement=yes
+ homeless_shelter:veterans_services=yes
+ homeless_shelter:emergency_medical=yes


Feedback is greatly appreciated!

[Tagging] tagging government garages

2010-09-14 Thread Richard Welty

 landuse=garage seems pretty tightly focused right now.

what i'd like to tag that doesn't really fit are
garages operated by various government entities,
e.g.

garages operated by school districts for their bus services
garages operated by towns, counties, and state DOT
   organizations to support highway maintenance.

these are the obvious ones, although there are also
garages devoted to commercial vehicle fleets.

anyone have any thoughts on this?

nothing documented for that on the map features wiki page either.

what specifically is usage in the UK for these sorts of government
facilities? probably should stick with the British English model.


Depot sounds like a good option.

and for town/county/state facilities, they also are used to store
salt (for winter), gravel, guardrail, and other materials needed
for road repair  maintenance.

so depot really sounds ok.

 Shouldn't an air traffic control tower be building=yes rather than
