Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - natural=bare_rock
I've been using natural=rocks, but I'm happy to change this if something is agreed upon. Is a distinction made between areas which are basically one really large rock stuck to the ground, and areas where there are lots of body to head sized rocks (without knowing what is underneath)? Also some areas would likely be a combination of the two. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Also some areas would likely be a combination of the two. My opinion is that natural=bare_rock should be used for solid rock and not for fields of stone/stony ground. The visible bedrock, even if it could be splintered and jagged. The first proposal intended to span all kinds of stone surfaces, I changed that. I took a look at [[IOFmapping#Rock_and_boulders]] and got convinced to separate the solid bare_rock. In the discussion it was argued that natural=scree could be used for rough stony grounds, that maybe not the case as scree have a limited definition meaning a certain mountain slope filled with rubble, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scree Scree on wikipedia]]. There is a definition on [http://etc-lusi.eionet.europa.eu/CLC2000/classes/Pictures?CLCcategory=3/3.3/3.3.2CLCtitle=Bare%20rocks European Topic Centre on Land Use and Spatial Information] that is like the first proposal, encompassing all kinds of areas with visible rock. /Johan Jönsson ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

It's a little bit more general than that - a sloping hillside covered with loose rock is also scree. But loose rock on flat ground never is. I used to climb up scree slopes a lot when I was a kid.
