[Tagging] How to recognize memorial from monument?

2015-07-11 Thread Daniel Koć
Simple question, hard problem: how to recognize (1) memorial from (2) monument? Definitions on Wiki are not clear and I think they need some love to make them easier to use in practice: 1) A feature for tagging smaller memorials, usually remembering special persons, peoples lost their lives

The size: If you can walk in it's a monument. There might be cases where there is clearly enough space for many people but no provisions have been made. Here I would compare to other monuments in city/country. 2015-07-11 13:03 GMT+02:00 Daniel Koć daniel@koć.pl: Simple question, hard problem:

The wiki page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dguard_rail says: If there is a clear inner/outer demarcation to the guard rail, construct the line so that the *right side is inner* and *left side is outer*. Often you find perfectly symmetric guardrails (example:

Depending upon which side of the road the guardrail is on, either the left side or right side may be inner. If there is a distinct inner and outer side, the inner side will always be towards the traffic. -- John F. Eldredge -- j...@jfeldredge.com Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light

I think an additional tag is not necessary. I think is is sufficient to tag them with highway=service. Remember, service=* is simply clarifying the kind of service road. They are definitely not tracks. I remember the discussion about clarifying track grade 1 and I thought it was stretching a

That seems reasonable. I was responding to the idea, stated in the original definition, that the right side of a guardrail would always be the inner side of the guardrail, and the left side would always be outside. In practice, guard rails can be present on either, or both, sides of a roadway,

Monument is a large memorial. If you tag a monument with historic=memorial, it's not wrong, but not precise. If it is a statue, add tourism=artwork + artwork_type=sculpture + artist=* + artist:wikidata=* + start_date=* + material=* Janko sub, 11. srp 2015. 13:21 Joachim nore...@freedom-x.de
