Re: [Tagging] Building life cycle
2011/5/29 Mihkel Rämmel r...@hot.ee: If it is not right then please correct me. you can also have a look at start_date which would be inauguration or start of usage of the building. Would building=yes ruins=yes (3000 uses) and building=ruins (850 uses) mean the same? Which one would be better to use? The standard is building=building-typology. I would not consider ruins a typology, but a state, that's why another approach might be better. building=xy, ruins=yes has as disadvantage that you have to evaluate the ruins-tag to get it right, but personally I'd prefer this. cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Would this also include street lamps?

IMHO both are not really towers. I'd consider the tower John
proposes as a kind of lightning device that is not a tower (although
being cantilevered).

[Tagging] tagging monasteries, convents and
looking at the available data and in the wiki I'm currently missing some tags for monasteries. All I found is this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dmonastery which suggests to tag former monasteries as historic=monastery and the monastery building as monastery=yes. If I see this right there is currently no tag for a monastery as an institution/place, nor for some of it's parts (the church will be tagged like any other church I think, the garden could also be tagged with leisure=garden and maybe a garden type, but the dorms and other specific places could merit some dedicated tags). I would like to distinguish between (and maybe more, let's see what you can contribute). monastery convent canonry sanctuary abbey friary (some might be attributes or subtags) For the comunity that operates the place I will make a list in the wiki so we can propose a set of typical values in unified form. We could use the keys operator and operator_congregation (e.g. Canons Regular of the Immaculate Conception) for these. This would be tagged on a surrounding area (or multipolygon relation or site relation). Any comments? Wikipages I missed? Tags in use? cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] etymology of street names
Why not include a weblink to the reason for the name? That could be a wikipedia-link to the page of the person the name comes from - or something else. regards Peter Am 31.05.2011 23:58, schrieb Steve Doerr: On 31/05/2011 17:21, Pieren wrote: On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 10:08 AM, Simone Saviolo simone.savi...@gmail.com mailto:simone.savi...@gmail.com wrote: Good idea, but not with etymology as the name. -1 You have to keep in mind, though, that this information is not strictly part of the geographical characteristics of the way/place, I would even say that it has nothing to do with a geographic database.
