[OSM-dev] Tag for building name
Hi guys, For now in Mapzen for tagging building name parameter we use 'addr:housename' tag. But recently Mapzen team have got several requests to change it to just 'name' tag key. What would you say - which one is more appropriate to use to mark building name? If we change addr:housename to name tag wouldn't it hurt any of your application? -- Yuliya Leonova @CloudMade twitter.com/Yutik ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

Re: [OSM-dev] Tag for building name
Hello Yuliya, As a mapper I normally use the name tag, and would only think of using the housename tag for those rare (here) british kind of places where a building is identified as Something House (for example Hedley House) instead of using a housenumber. If the housenumber is present and there is no clear housename (Something House) I would not use the housename tag. Here in Chile, most of the apartment buildings have names, but they all also have housenumbers, and I would always use the housenumber tag since that is the relevant reference for everyone. You always give the address with the housenumber and no one will ever do a search using the building housename.

The aim is to get the same portion of the map. I have search and I think we can't do it :( Well perhaps you _shouldn't_ do it. Comparing OSM to Gmap might be interesting in some ways, but deriving data from one to the other is certainly a bad idea, frowned upon by fans of either or both. But it can be done. There are OpenLayers examples that can show the maps side by side. Details will probably depend on what you mean by get the same portion of the map. ___ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev

Re: [OSM-dev] OSM and CouchDB/GeoCouch
were there any successful attempts to read OSM data into CouchDB and Geocouch? Does somebody know of a backend? I have done something like that and can provide some code at the end of July (I won't be back home before then). It really is just a different kind of schema. But the exact schema depends on what you want to use it for. Do you want to use it as an alternative to the API/PostgreSQL or a convenient storage on mobile devices, routing data, mapnik backend etc. CouchDB is kinda great (even though the documentation sucks) but it's just one out of many tools and may or may not be a good fit.
