I do not know what is the right term to use as main tag, but I think the distinction wet/dry, if available, should be a subkey like : emergency=riser riser:type=dry i'm ok with this, although i do want to point out that what we're mapping are the inlets or intakes, not the whole system. i'd like the tagging to reflect that. not quite sure what that should look like. richard ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

I do not know what is the right term to use as main tag, but I think the distinction wet/dry, if available, should be a subkey like : emergency=riser riser:type=dry In french (France at least), the official terms are colonne sèche (dry) and colonne humide (wet) and visible on labels, so the distinction is common and should be well known. -- ° /\Guillaume AllègreOpenStreetMap France /~~\/\ allegre.guilla...@free.fr Cartographie libre et collaborative / /~~\tél. 04.76.63.26.99 http://www.openstreetmap.fr ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
[Tagging] standpipes
i'd like to add a value to the emergency equipment tagging scheme: emergency=standpipe_inlet for those unaware of it, a standpipe system is generally built into modern high rise buildings. it is a way of feeding water into the building for fire emergencies, and is usually kept dry. should an engine company need to respond to an emergency in one of these buildings, they would use a hose segment to connect a nearby hydrant to the standpipe inlet, feeding water to the buildings internal systems. this is considered much preferable to attempting to string hose through a stairwell. you can argue for placement under building= as it is analogous to tags like entrance, but i think emergency= is slightly better. feel free to try to convince me otherwise, though. richard ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] standpipes
This may be a UK/North America difference, but I would have called the thing you describe a dry riser, and a standpipe is just a short section of rigid pipe to connect a hose to a (below ground level) fire hydrant.

Re: [Tagging] standpipes
the definitions of Dry Riser and Standpipe are similar, but not identical: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standpipe_(firefighting) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_riser On 12/7/12 6:07 PM, Paul Johnson wrote: As a USian, I've only seen dry riser myself for this item... ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
