Re: [Tagging] Decorative flower fields? (not as a crop?)

2015-12-01 Thread Dudley Ibbett
landuse=flowerbed already exists in the wiki.  Personally I would just use this 
but if another tag is to be developed one consideration with regard to using an 
"landuse" tag is, should it be more widely applicable?

"landuse=ornamental_planting" for example with another tag to describe the type 
of plant, i.e. flower, shrub, grass etc. would allow it to be used much more 
widely.

You keep speaking of "flower fields", so I think this is the tag to go.

well, ornamental flowers are flowers that are for display purposes. Flower 
fields sounds like it is just for flowers in a large field, rather than an area 
of flowers for all sizes. I liked the suggested value of ornamental_flowers.
Do you think there is a need for a landuse=flowerbed and landuse=flower_field? 
I thought landuse=ornamental flowers would cover both quite well.

In a typical mall (were the non-floor plan variant is most  useful) you

SIT is not intended as a replacement for S3DB which you seem to be
implying and I'm not quite sure why you believe you can't model a
connection between two floors potentially with different numbering
schemes  in two different buildings given that the numbering -is- local
to the building or building:part.

I would see it as flowerbed if the flowers are set in an ornamental way
(geometrically), but less in case of an "open field" where the borders are
smooth / not distinct.

I've now interacted with over a dozen mappers who used the original tag in
novel and interesting ways.  The old tag is interpreted wrongly across
continents, cultures and languages.
*I feel that I screwed up naming the tag in the original proposal, and now
I want to fix it.*

-
I think most people have never encountered a self-service stand with bike
tools.  It's just not in their mental set.  Thus when the tag shows up in
their editor, they mentally map it to the thing they are actually mapping.

One of the nice things about the proposed schema is that it involves
*correctly* making *two* tagging operations
(the generic tool stand tag, plus the type of tools offered).  Any node
mapped without *both* is mechanically findable, and allows for deeper
investigation of mapper intent, and perhaps mapper-to-mapper
communication.  It raises the bar past the level of "iD brought this tag up
for me to use".


My goal is to enable mobile apps useful to a stranded cyclist. * Thus
accuracy is key.*
The data is also used commercially (
http://www.dero.com/fixitmap/fixitmap.html - despite the lack of
attribution).
And in apps such as http://www.bikeaidapp.com/.

The current growth in awareness the tag is encouraging, but the error rate
is pointing toward eventual failure and irrelevance.
I'm not going to walk a mile with a broken bike, unless I'm pretty sure the
map is reliable.

-
The scope of the tag is meant to be DIY tool stands, usually free, usually
open 24/7 or as long as the enclosing facility. Examples:

   - Bike tool stands (such as a "Dero Fixit" installed near bike trails)
   - Skateboard repair tools at a skatepark.
   - Ski/Snowboard tuning stations at ski areas or along winter trails.
   - Perhaps tools for removal or bending of fish hooks, at a fish cleaning
   station.
   - Maybe eyeglass repair tools, freely made available by an optometrist?

Tool lending libraries (
https://www.berkeleypubliclibrary.org/locations/tool-lending-library ) are
certainly interesting to map, but probably something different, as the
tools do not remain fixed in place.

you can also use an area instead of the node. An area has certain
advantages (says something about the size, can contain further objects like
areas and nodes) and some disadvantages (more work to draw, more complex to
edit) and requires more information (an idea about the extent of the thing).

To me, flowerbed has connotations of a little area beside a house.  

I also think purpose should be there (to avoid the farm/farmyard issue),

So landuse=ornamental_flowers is the current value I will propose, as it has no 
size connotations - but purpose is strictly defined - it is for viewing, not as 
a crop for commercial harvest (sale/food).

​That is correct, but note that there are no adoption agencies for adults,
it is predominately handled in probate court or other courts (see Wikipedia
