Surely you could always refine tagging according to your needs (like with dog:species=Rottweiler). Although, I think the exact species of canines could change much more often due to replacement and/or moving. You probably also need to be an expert on the topic to tell apart hundreds of purebred typ

It has been raised on a private discussion if we could mention whether a private house or an industrial site has a guard dog that is easily identifiable by its barking. It is my viewpoint that from a mapping ethics standpoint, we should not map this because it may compromise a home's security. What

I welcome your comments on the following proposal: Those with vision impairment should also have the right to explore and map their surroundings in ways appropriate for them. We should have a unified way to specify the kind of noise that is generated by an object. The most useful ones are those wh
