[Tagging] how to tag small parts of buildings

[Tagging] office=therapist??

Looking through the current list of documented office values I came across so that really sound odd to me, e.g. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aoffice%3Dtherapist wouldn't this be much better suited for the amenity tag? cheers, Martin sent from a

Re: [Tagging] Quonset hut

First of all, thanks for this discussion guys! In addition to Martin I think Wolfgang has the best way to tag a building and what's inside of it. So let's assume you want to tag a very cheap restaurant inside an old Quonset hut the tags will be: amenity=restaurant, building=quonset_hut and

Re: [Tagging] Quonset hut

I don't see how going from "typology" you conclude it's strictly about form. Typology is about types, not saying with respect to what. When you look at top building values in Taginfo, it's clear to me these state purpose (house, residential, garage, apartments, industrial, school and so on), with

[Tagging] Protected areas and nature reserves

I need some input how to tag nature reserves. For most ones in Sweden it is easy, the CC0 source material have a field with the IUCN class but around 10% are classified as: "areas that can not be classified by the IUCN system". A natural reserve in Sweden can be created in: "order to preserving
