Re: [Tagging] Future proposal - RFC - amenity=dormitory
Same here in the U.S. Usage of the word dormitory generally applies to a single building, a student residence on or near a college campus. For your situation you might try using a relation to group the buildings as a named dormitory and then for each individual building you could enter its own name, purpose, address, etc. On Sat, Jul 12, 2014 at 6:25 AM, Dudley Ibbett wrote: > Hi > > I was going to say that from a UK English perspective I have never seen > dormitory used in this way.

Re: [Tagging] Future proposal - RFC - amenity=dormitory
Hi I was going to say that from a UK English perspective I have never seen dormitory used in this way. However, in the context of a dictionary definition the proposal seems to relate to the definition with regard to a suburb "A small town or suburb providing a residential area for those who work in a nearby city".It also appears that it would be used as a modifier. i.e. a dormitory suburb. I may have got this wrong but the proposal would seem to be extending this definition to mean a type of "suburb" of the University. UK Universities are rather small to have "dormitory suburbs" and you would generally just talk about the "halls of residence" or the perhaps the "residential" area of a campus.

Most of these are from the Antarctica import [1] where they mostly
comply with the definition quite well although in some part areas have
a thin, patchy scree cover.
The Corine natural=rock areas on the other hand are not
natural=bare_rock, neither factually as you can easily check with a few
examples nor by definition [2] where it is simply described as "Scree,
cliffs, rocks outcrops, including active erosion, rocks and reef flats
situated above the high-water mark".
Based on this it would probably not be a good idea to mechanically
re-tag these to natural=bare_rock but this is something that should be
discussed at the appropriate place (i.e. in imports). In my opinion
these areas would need manual reviewing and fixing before any
meaningful tags can be applied. In many cases it might be easier to
remap the area from scratch.

Re: [Tagging] [Talk-us] Beach routing

Along our US coasts, there are beaches. The beaches I'm familiar with are popular with walkers and joggers to go up and down the shore, since access is generally open to anyone along the water's edge. I'm considering adding a `highway=path` along the beach to facilitate this. I'd add the connections to the walking paths between parking lots and the beach as well. For uninterrupted strips of sandy beach, would a path be appropriate to indicate walkability? Adding a single arbitrary path where an area exists seems a bit of a hack. I recognize that part of the problem that you are trying to address is that routers aren't routing across areas. And that is surely a difficult problem to solve. Is the creation of arbitrary fake-paths a worse problem than not being able to route with specific routing software? Perhaps. A similar situation exists in (micro-)mapping golf courses. Some courses have cart paths with discontinuities. Often those discontinuities direct you to drive the cart (or walk, I'm not "judging" here) on the fairway, until the next section of physical cart path begins. In that situation, I only map the real path, not the virtual path. The another similarity is that users will select different paths for different reasons. Beach walkers may divert towards interesting items on the beach, or away from waves, washouts or debris. Golf players will be guided by course rules, weather rules and the location of their ball. The golf player is probably more likely to complete a predictable circuit. Beach walkers might follow an "out and back" of entirely arbitrary length. Using a router to select a, let's say, 5km stroll, out and back on a beach, seems of limited utility. I suggest, "no path on the beach". Map a boardwalk where one exists, by all means. And adding those access ramps / paths is awesome. ;-) Maybe this proposal could be promoted to solve this problem? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/virtual_highway ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
