[Tagging] Company or association that organize courses

2019-12-22 Thread Francesco Ansanelli
Hello,

I would like to find a good tag for the case in subject.
In particular I'm referring to mandatory courses that workers must to take
part (like security on workplace) after they start a new job.
The goal of the company is to release a certification after the subscriber
reaches the minimum amount of hours and passes a small exam.
Probability the tag:

office=*

with a value generally agreed is the best option.
On the Italian ML has been suggested:

office=training

It is undocumented but it has some occurrence on taginfo.

What do you think?

Many thanks,
Best regards
Francesco

[Tagging] Discourage use of landuse=churchyard?

2019-12-22 Thread Joseph Eisenberg
The tag landuse=churchyard has been used several thousand times, but
amenity=graveyard is over 10 times more common, and landuse=religious
is 4 times more common.

I would recommend discouraging use of this tag, because the wiki
definition contradicts the plain-English meaning of churchyard, which
is usually a graveyard (cemetry) or burial ground next to a church.

The wiki page for landuse=churchyard claims "Used to map the area
surrounding a christian church or chapel, particularly when this does
not contain a graveyard" - this conflicts with the common English
definition of the value.

Cambridge Dictionary (UK):
"an area of land around a church, where dead bodies are buried "

Merriam-Webster (US):
"a yard that belongs to a church and is often used as a burial ground."

To avoid ambiguity, mappers can use the two well-accepted tags
landuse=religious + religion=christian
OR
amenity=graveyard + religion=christian, depending on the situation.

I would like to update the wiki page for landuse=churchyard to suggest
not using the tag and changing to one of the other two tags +
religion=christian instead.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Small electric vehicles - keys updated

2019-12-22 Thread Joseph Eisenberg
small_electric_vehicle for segways and electric kick scooters seems
confusing to me: I would imagine this including electric golf carts
(already tagged golf_cart=yes/designated/no) and perhaps other things.

It’s also a bit odd that electric pedal-assist bicycles with limited top
speed are to be tagged electric_bicycle= but faster e-bikes would be tagged
“speed_pedelec=“ - shouldn’t it be “high_speed_electric_bicycle=“ or
similar?

Re: [Tagging] Roundtrip and closed loop in relations

2019-12-22 Thread Peter Elderson
Good point. I would say roundtrip is the service provided. But if a route
is designed for roundtrip service i.e. if you remain seated you end up at
the starting point, roundtrip becomes an attribute of the route. However,
most PT allows you to book or perform a roundtrip. Because even if you get
off and later back on, even on a different vehicle and/or by a different
route, it's still a roundtrip, no matter the layout of the routes.

(Nederand used to have roundtrip tickets, priced at 1 1/2 the cost of two
separate single way tickets. You could get roundtrip tickets ("retours")
valid on one day, or roundtrips with open return day. Now, we pay per
kilometer, so that's history. For now!).

In short, I think circular would be the better term if the route is
"circular". I would not retag, though. I am not a PT-mapper or PT datauser.
But I have to ask: is it absolutely clear what it means if a PT-route is
mapped as a roundtrip? Is this information really used?

A linear walking route marked in both directions is not a roundtrip. You're not 
guided to turn around at the end and return to the start. You are free to do 
that and make your cross-the-alps trail a roundtrip, of course, but I have yet 
to encounter anyone who does that. Could become an Australian hype maybe? :)
So no, I wouldn't expect linear walking routes to get tagged as roundtrip=yes. 
circular is fine too, as long as it can be applied to routes that are not 
strictly circular (closed_loop). Such as having a common approach/exit section, 
crossing itself one or more times, or having a common middle section between 
two loops. This would still qualify as roundtrip to me, because the 'service' 
i.e. the waymarking, brings you back to the start.  bidirectional waymarking 
does not a roundtrip make, it just says you can choose to do the hike in both 
directions.
At the same time, if circular just means the same as roundtrip (for walking 
routes), I would not change current tagging. Lots of work to achieve nothing, 
not my favorite.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Small electric vehicles - keys updated

2019-12-22 Thread Jan Michel

Taking the various comments and suggestions into account,
I revised some of the tags proposed and also included electric mopeds
in the proposal.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ElectricBicyclesAndScooters 



The current set of tags is:

* electric_bicycle - bicycles with motor assistance
* speed_pedelec - fast electric bicycles, similar to mopeds
* kick_scooter - the 'childrens style' scooter
* small_electric_vehicle - electric scooters (similar to kick scooters), 
Segway etc. These refer to a class of vehicles in European (French, 
German) law

* moped:electric - slow electric motorcycles (EU: up to 25 km/h typically)
* mofa:electric -medium fast electric motorcycles  (EU: up to 45 km/h 
typically)


I hope that this set of tags is able to cope with most existing and 
planned regulations and is free of ambiguities.

Please let me know your opinion and further suggestions!

Agreed. My intention was to avoid Roundtrip as sinonym of Circular.

If following the route marking you will get back to start... It's a
circular route.
As previously stated you could find marking on both directions and be a
single line straight and then reverse.
With old wiki definition this is Roundtrip=no... Now it is Roundtrip=yes
Seems sane to me.

Only roundtrip=yes is needed here, if not present assume it's not a
roundtrip. Note that many trails consist of a number of linear routes,
together making for a roundtrip. I tag roundtrip=yes only on the parent
route relation. Loop or circular would also be just fine, but I see no
reason to change existing tagging here.

Do you mean old definition or the new one?

Don't forget OSM is a database.. a new tag that helps to classify things
(without overtagging) can be useful. Can you extract easily all circular or
linear routes with current scheme?

Personally I would only be interested in the validation part. I already
wrote some rule in JOSM and Osmose... I don't currently plan to fix all
existing routes, but hopefully could help to figure how to do it.


So far, I know one application: if a route is tagged as a closed loop, e.g.
with closed_loop=yes, and it's not complete or interrupted somewhere, you
can detect that with a checking tool. It would be a sort of fixme, then.
Most routes I maintain would not profit from that.

Re: [Tagging] Roundtrip and closed loop in relations

For PT, roundtrip is not an attribute of the route, it's a type of ticket or 
it's what you use the transport for. You can do a roundtrip on a circular line, 
but also on non-circular lines or mostly non-circular with a loop at the end, 
whatever. To express that a PT route is circular, I think the term circular 
would be better than roundtrip. 

For hiking|foot routes, exception is the rule when it comes to branches, 
alternatives, excursions, approaches and shortcuts. For me roundtrip on a 
walking route relation means: when you keep following the main route markings, 
it takes you back to where you begun. This does not exclude any alternatives, 
such as optional extra loops or a common approach/exit route at a starting 
point. Only roundtrip=yes is needed here, if not present assume it's not a
