[Talk-us] Things that are not buildings but are used as one
Is it correct to tag a non-building object with building=yes if it is functionally used as one? As examples, I'm thinking about restaurants that use an old train car as a dining room, or this unusual example of a riverboat as a welcome center http://osm.org/go/Tv8f5t42q?layers=Nway=349671718 -jack -- Typos courtesy of fancy auto-spell technology. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Yes, this is commonly done in OSM. Generally speaking, anything with a footprint and some kind of roof can get a `building=*` tag. In most cases people tag it as `building=yes` but you could really just make up anything for the tag value. `building=riverboat` or `building=train_car` would be fine. `building=no` is the only one (afaik) that downstream consumers need to watch out for.

Please note that also many structures that technically aren't buildings are often tagged with the building tag cheers Martin ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
