Re: [Tagging] Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - childcare

2011-05-12 Thread Sean Horgan
I personally like when OSM definitions are linked to other references,
especially a well-known source like wikipedia.

From http://www.thefreedictionary.com/social+service:
social service
n.
1. Organized efforts to advance human welfare; social work.
2. Services, such as free school lunches, provided by a government for
its disadvantaged citizens. Often used in the plural.

or Merriam Webster, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/social%20service
: an activity designed to promote social well-being; specifically :
organized philanthropic assistance (as of the disabled or
disadvantaged)

I can add these references to the tag page if people consider them better form.

As for removing the daycare reference in social_facility, I agree that
replacing it with a link to an approved childcare feature makes sense.

There are service organizations that focus on children and I wouldn't
be surprised if some provided daycare, but this is such a specific
service that I think a node is better described by combining tags.  So
a social facility that provided childcare service could use:

amenity=childcare
social_facility:for=child
age=2-17
operator=ABC Kids

 daycare center for children, i.e. following the logics of the cited

 Following the logics of your proposal instead, there could be an
 amendment to your proposal saying that daycare should be removed from
 the example section of social_facility:for (or a link to your tag
 added. Removing daycare from social_facility would not be a problem
 because there is not yet a single object with this tag in the database

i changed the main key to service_times, but i kept the subkey.
otherwise it would be problematic in case someone want to tag the
office hours separately.

IMHO the key service_times refers to the feature, which is children
daycare in this case. There is no need to namespace this tag. If you
namespace it, you make it more difficult You could have office_hours
for the office hours.

-1, please copy the definition. Do not link them from external sites.
To the content of dictionaries you cited: the exact meaning of
social is generally tainted by political / philosophical
ideologies/point of view as well as cultural background. I wouldn't
dig too much into the details.

IMHO no link but a short description in the OSM wiki.

there was a lot of discussion going on over the last two days for this
proposal, but still hardly anyone voted. i think it would be a good
idea if everyone who took part in the discussion would vote, so that
we at least get an impression on the tendency for or against the
childcare value. currently there are only five (positive) votes which
isn't a lot. i could also live with the social_facility value in case
it gets declined, but i would like to see a meaningful result in the
votes.

 Further, i too consider the social facility tags to negative. Besides
 that, i couldn't see a social_facility=* value that would fit. the

 amenity=childcare.

 no further comments over the last 1 1/2 weeks, so i'll start the
 voting phase: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/childcare


sorry for writing late, I think there are some problems.

E.g. age.

if you tagged a feature with
amenity=childcare
age=4

it would not be completely clear, that age is the age of the children.

I'd also suggest to change the underscores in colons in cases where
you have hierarchical tags like operator:type

The way you propose to use opening_hours is IMHO not in line with
the wiki. You suggest to use open opening_hours on the facility even
if it is closed but the office is open. I'd do it differently
(opening_hours to indicate the times of the facility and office_hours
or something similar, or a distinct office object with it's own
opening_hours)

The biggest issue I see is that this feature seems already be covered
by the social facility feature:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Social_facility
Have a look at the subkey social_facility:for=child  e.g. daycare
center for children

Martin

I  notice the suggested rendering is similar to schools.  Don't know about
other areas, but in the US, many childcare centers are run out of private
homes, so that rendering might seem a little strange.  Maybe in that case a
node is a better choice.

Also, if you really want to get into the details of capacity and age, in the
US there are sometimes limits on # of children in an age range, depending on
the ratio of staff to children. Again, don't know how this might differ
elsewhere.

The question whether a node or an area is more appropriate to
represent a feature should be seen independently of a certain render
style. The rendering suggestion in feature proposals is only a
suggestion and has no influence on the actual rendering in maps
(actually IMHO rendering suggestions in feature descriptions are
somehow superfluous and can just as well be omitted).

Within my suburb there are both options, some home-based small childcare
centres but also some that are setup with their own building, playground
and fenced off area.  I think the use of both node and way/area should
be allowed for this tag, some are too small to map as an area and some
are too big to simply map as a node.
