I believe so. Might need another tag to indicate the three colors: red, green, and blue. Personally, I would have chosen orange green and white, but that's just me. -- Russ Nelson - http://community.cloudmade.com/blog - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:RussNelson r...@cloudmade.com - Twitter: Russ_OSM - http://openstreetmap.org/user/RussNelson ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

There is always public art in the park, but what art changes every few months. Last time I was in the park there was a giant mushroom, now I gather there is a "Disco Fallout Shelter" (?!?!?!?!). It would be worth noting that there is public art there, without getting specific... Colin. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I assume Statues are covered by monument though. I would only put in work that is there permanently because some public art is only there for a short wile and could make the maps outdated. I sometimes use statues as a reference point wile navigating people around towns. For example, Turn left at the statue of George Formby and head towards the beach.

[OSM-talk] Statues and Public Art
Any consensus about tagging statues and public art ? Gert Gremmen - Openstreetmap.nl (alias: cetest) Before printing, think about the environment. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: talk-boun...@openstreetmap.org [mailto:talk-boun...@openstreetmap.org] Namens Jack Stringer Verzonden: Saturday, June 06, 2009 1:08 PM Aan: talk@openstreetmap.org Onderwerp: [OSM-talk] Addresses and POI If I was to get a copy of the Electoral Roll, could I use that to get a list of House Names, Street Names, and Postcodes and then use that to create a tick list of houses. If we have a list of stuff that we know should exist then we could use it to make sure the map has all the data for the area. I have looked at the feed the postcode site and though it provided postcodes it does not help us work out what areas still need postcode data adding to them etc. It would be nice to have a list of postcodes that we have and a list we should have then do some math and we have a list of the ones we need to find. This I think could also expand to other POI stuff. For example it would only take a short wile to get all the addresses of Burger Kings in the UK. If the BK is already mapped then we could add the address to the POI so giving us another known postcode location. If it is not mapped we could add a link to the town that we need to locate the BK. It does not need to be just BK but it could be National Trust Sites, English Heritage Sites. Someone in the head offices of these firms/organisations is going to have a list of sites with full address and they are likely to be happy for us to have the data because if their hotels, restaurants are all on the the map of choice then they will benefit exp. as its free. Google does have a facility for companies to add their locations in bulk. If I gathered the address info from their website then that should not be an issue, should it? If I was to get some of this data would there be a copyright issues? Is it worth me making a wiki page with some of the info? So people could check of places that have been found and done. I guess a future website would be the ability for firms to add their own info to the map. Using a form and a OSM window so they can put their address in and add the location plus the usual info. But I don't have the geek powers for that.
