Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - Reception Desk.

2015-06-23 Thread Warin

This proposal is now closed.

68% approval .. so it is rejected by the 75% rule.

Now working on the reception_point proposal;

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/reception_point

Soon to be copied and pasted into a 'reception' proposal and a 'reception_area' 
proposal.


--
I'll take the winner to be the one with the highest approval .. will have to 
beat the 68% of reception_desk




And another proposal for wedding_reception too! This should reduce my worry 
that wedding receptions will be miss-mapped into reception.

So .. soon to be 4 proposals for comment and voting.
I note the voting page has nothing on it, blood donations should be there 
shortly though.

I haven't voted, as so far I haven't had to opportunity to use the tag. So
I don't really know whether it works or not.

It's really a pity if the proposal will be rejected. Its need is clear,
even though the exact wording may not be perfect. But do we need to have a
*perfect* proposal before we can get anything? I would suggest to those who
oppose it to accept it and then propose a modification. Otherwise we'll
stay where we are forever. No proposal can be perfect.

That said, I do agree that a *reception_facility* option is not a bad idea
at all. If the majority of those opposing this proposal do so because of
the word desk, I would suggest replacing it and voting once again. I
agree with Warin's argument that area (another proposed wording) is not a
good option, also because of the mapping ambiguity (what to include—the
thing with the word reception above it or the whole area from which this
word can be seen?)

Cheers,
Kotya

 Hi,

 I will close this proposal on Tuesday 23 June unless more votes come in. A
 the moment it is rejected by 11 approved votes to 5 opposed votes (68%). To
 be approved would require 4 more approval votes without any more opposed
 votes.

 If you have not voted .. vote.


 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/amenity%3Dreception_desk

 If rejected I will probably pursue other related reception_desk proposals.
 Your help and patience is appreciated.

 Possible forth coming proposals? amenity=reception, amenity=reception_area
 (I would vote against both these), amenity=reception_point (I think this
 came from Bryce?).

 I may run these concurrent so votes can take place at the same time. What
 ever one gets the most number of approvals I'd make a page for, no matter
 the 'rules' for 'approved' or 'rejected'.

Your comments implies that you think voting is an important process to 
'allow' a tag to be used. Voting is a pointless, broken process that 
means absolutely nothing. We are free to use any tag we like, so voting 
cannot veto anyone's use of a tag. Voting means nothing because there 
are no approved or official tags in OSM, so a tag cannot be rejected by 
voting either.


Discuss tags to get a sensible scheme and document the outcome of the 
discussion, but also use a proposed tagging scheme to ensure it makes 
sense in the real world.


Voting certainly does not mean that a tag will be adopted by anyone, it 
does not mean that editors will support it and it doesn't mean that the 
tag will get rendered on anyone's map.

Agreed. Voting is usefull!
Some 38 people voted on the Mk1 reception_desk. Only one IIRC expressed 
'desk' as a bad idea.


On the Mk2 reception_desk there were not many comments made during the 
RFC phase.

Disappointing that they have not all seen fit to vote on theMk2 version.
And now there is a number of people opposing the 'desk' part.

GOOD!! Please speak up. If you don't like something .. say so. Even 
better to have an idea as a suggested replacement. But don't just leave 
it as one person oposing something like the 'desk' part of 
reception_desk .. it apears there is only one person opsing that bit .. 
add your concern to give that indication of a majority .. other wise the 
proposer thinks it is only one person who thinks that way.


Unfortunately many people only vote .. they don't speak up during the 
comments phase. I do wish they would speak up then.

I don't understand then why I should vote yes for a particular tag that I think 
would be the wrong direction to go (if we reduce the tag now to desks it is 
already clear that we would not cover all reception facilities and that we will 
then have several similar reception things sprawled over different tags)
Personally I don't care if the reception is a desk or a different manifestation 
of a reception, so I'd really like to avoid the word desk in the tag

agree that who wants could map furniture as well, but that would not be 
amenity and I would not care about such a tag and it would not be the main 
tag for the reception function 



 b) One could then map a very large area .. including the waiting area, the 
 entire building? What is needed is the small area where you go to get 
 access/information.


it can be easily decided by the mapper what makes most sense for the actual 
situation 



 c) And there was a dog_bin in use in OSM too.. one could assume that it is 
 for dead dogs? The present reception_area use is all on nodes, no areas at 
 all. There are less than 110 uses of it. There is no documentation for it. 
 One of the tag is for a building .. on a node.


there are more than 30 times reception_area tags compared to reception_desk, 
but both numbers are low



 d) I personally know of two places where the reception is a long way from the 
 main entrance (Australia). Someone else also know of a reception a long way 
 from the main entrance (Africa I think). So not always at the main entry, and 
 in that situation mapping it is very usefull.


+1, if someone thinks a tag is not needed he should not vote, because voting is 
about a concrete tag and which tag is best to describe something

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/amenity%3Dreception_desk



 A Reception Desk provides a place where people (visitors, patients, or
 clients) arrive to be greeted, any information recorded, the relevant person
 is contacted and the visitor/s, patient/s, or client/s sent on to the
 relevant person/place.


 It is particularly useful to know the location of the reception desk when it
 is located away from the typical place (near a front entry) or where there
 is only one amongst a number of large buildings. First seen as a suggested
 extended tag for camp sites, thought to have a wider application to offices,
 hotels, hospitals and educational features.

 The amenity key is chosen so it can be used for both tourism and business
 situations.


 Thanks for your participation.

Ahh .. the passion is back! More votes .. yea!

Unfortunately it now is rejected .. 15 votes total .. less than half 
those that voted before ... leaving the voting open for now.


It does appear that some who vote against don't participate in any 
discussion, they just vote.

Present points against;
a) Won't vote for furniture
b) It should be area not desk.
c) There exists some tagged reception_area already and that out numbers 
the present reception_desk use.

d) Always located at the main entrance.
e) vague between tourism, office etc
f) only for very special cases.

the OSM wiki - direct quotes. They are broad so that all suitable 
features fit, but they exclude others.
f) It is for the special cases that this is necessary. You may map the 
non special cases too .. nothing stopping that.

I think I'll be closing this shortly. Possibly tomorrow.

There are some 10 votes, one against, the majority approving.

There were close to 40 votes last time... where has the passion gone?

Hi,

A Reception Desk provides a place where people (visitors, patients, or

person is contacted and the visitor/s, patient/s, or client/s sent on 
to the relevant person/place.



It is particularly useful to know the location of the reception desk

where there is only one amongst a number of large buildings. First

thought to have a wider application to offices, hotels, hospitals and

The amenity key is chosen so it can be used for both tourism and

So do you have problems to wait a half/full year ?
Lets see how your proposed tag is used.

Feel free to reactivate old proposals or even create the missing wiki
pages if usage seems to be established.

We always end up with the problem to proper document, first the proposal
and later the key and value pages. Though it is not always fun and can
be real work especially in a foreign language.

 Consensus .. that is what I'm aiming for. New rules or not.

+1 though there are cases where we have to state that we do not find a
consensus

 If your only voting on the tag (amenity=reception_desk) why are you
 commenting on the documentation? :-) ... That is a joke by the way.

Do not get me wrong. I vote by tagging and not on the proposal and if we
want to find a consensus I am happy with discussion on this list. There
are no veto but I can always post my concerns.

 I have 'improved' the documentation .. there is not much to say about a
 reception desk ... fortunately.

Yeah the final wiki page might even get shorter but the content counts.
We do not want to overwhelm the reader with information but need a clean
and distinguished description. The archived proposal is important to get
more information if in doubt.

addresses the RFC process and questions. As the result, there is no good

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - Reception Desk

The wiki page 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal_process#Page_details says


/Proposal/

   /A short description of what you want to map, including links to
   relevant material with photos if possible./
/Rationale/
   /Why the tag is needed, considering significance and potential uses
   of the data./
/Examples/
   /Names, locations, rough idea of numbers (e.g., one on every street
   corner, several in each suburb in Germany, half a dozen in each
   South American country)./
/Tagging/
   /The category the tag falls under (//man_made
   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:man_made//, //waterway
   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:waterway//, //tourism
   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tourism//, etc,), with//*a
   justification of why other similar categories are not
   suitable*//(for instance, there may be too many to map individually
   - such as residential properties in which case a //landuse
   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse//tag would be of
   more use if they are grouped closely enough?)./
   /The name of the tag itself - keep it as short as possible (15
   characters is generally as long as they get), whilst still being
   logical, descriptive enough to need little explanation and not
   overlapping with another tag in a different category./

That suggests that the proposal page presents justifications ... I am 
simply doing what the wiki page suggests! Should the wiki be changed? 
And, of course, it needs to be done while this proposal is in 
progress... just like the voting change.. grr .. ;-)


The tag description page is based on the proposal page .. but it does 
not have a '/Rationale' /section, a/'rough idea of numbers'/ ... it is 
edited into the tag page.

One more point...
Some of those opposing the proposal say they don't have time to follow 
discussion on the tagging group.. they may also claim they don't have 
time to read the dissuasion page .. so for that point of view the 
reasons why things are done should be on the proposal page... Not saying 
their view is right or wrong, it is their view. I am simply trying to 
provide the information on the proposal page that best describes the 
value and why it is needed, tagged this way and its' impact on other 
things.


I'd think the actual page would be very simple .. like


bbq http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dbbq
bench http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dbench
 though this raises some interesting things for the temperature tag ..

 Associating one feature (a 'parent') with another feature (a 'child')?

 More of a guide as to how OSM 'does' it?

 Or may be it needs to be added to some already existing guide...



there is no clear standard method to do this. There are at least 3 concepts
in use:
1. spatially: something is inside or on the border of something else
2. by tagging: e.g. operator tag, brand tag, the bicycle=use_sidepath
tag, etc. This method is not explicit but typically should work.
3. with relations (and roles within relations)

For this case we could either use the site relation, e.g. a reception-role
with which the reception_desk gets put into relation with a site (not yet
documented), or we'd use the type=provides_feature relation.

For the site relation there is a proposal here (but the examples somehow
contradict the idea of point 1, that a spatial relation is sufficient in
cases where one object contains another)
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Site

For the second I couldn't find any mention in the wiki, but it is used 411
times:

Hi Warin,



 10 state it should not be an amenity key and most of those are for it
 being in the tourism key.
 My failing there for not explaining that it has applications to offices,
 industries and educational areas where tourism is not an appropriate key.


In my opinion, it depends on personal experience. For me the value of this
tag for company, hospital, university and other non-touristic facilities is
clear. For someone the word reception may only associate with hotels.

 1 says it is not necessarily a desk.

 I have never come across one that was not a desk - telephone, public
 address system and sign in in all housed on a desk.


It's true that it's not always a desk and usually is much more than a desk.
However it's still called a desk :)
I am not a native speaker, but I think it's a standard term for a reception
facility.



 2 (with another supportive comment from someone else) says it should
 embedded in 'the indoor tagging scheme'.
 The 'indoor tagging scheme'? That is going to have the same kind of
 problems with the tags for toilets, telephones, shops swimming pools, etc
 etc. The problem posed by this tag exists for many others and will need to
 be addressed by the indoor tagging system NOT by this tag alone.  The
 'indoor tagging system' looks to be in evolution ... and will probably take
 some time before being generally accepted.


I think there are some keen proponents of indoor tagging. There is
definitely an advantage of being able to specify where the desk is located
exactly. Moreover, it's kind of natural, since that's the implicit reason
for your proposal: to specify where one can find the reception.

How is reception desk shown to be part of another feature? By its location
 in most instances. It has also been suggest that a site relation could be
 used. The site relation looks to be in some state of 'proposed'... I could

This is the only critically important aspect IMO. For a building hosting
multiple organizations, there should be a way to attribute the reception
properly. In many cases it logically follows from the location. Not in all
probably. My suggestion would be to introduce the tag as is, and add a
relation when possible. The tag definitely adds value in many cases even
without the relation.

Sorry, I said it in a bad way. the “obvious”  reception desks I was speaking of 
smack you in the face - the ones I was thinking of are like, the elevator doors 
open, and there is a reception desk in your face for the 11th floor “Baka, Inc” 
office. There is no possible path to follow except through reception, so it is 
“obvious” because there is no way to access the location without going through 
it. 

But of course I would want any reception mapped if you can, and eventually if 
you are doing indoor multi-floor mapping, mapping these as well in the future 
(which I don’t think is possible now?). “We” are in agreement on the rest.

I'm not a software developer, but 2x name= doesn't sound like a great 
idea if you want to make an association.


Also entering data like phone number twice etc. doesn't sound like a 
great idea either, unless the reception actually has a special one 
(but often it's probably just the main number of the POI)


Double entry does not appeal to me either .. more work. A relation that 
takes the values from the relation to the tagged features sounds good. 
Would need to avoid over writing any tagged values that all ready exist 
(eg opening hours for reception may be different from the main office .. 
you may still ring the office when reception is closed.) I don't see 
that addressed by either the above proposals? (That would provide for 
separate phone numbers too .. Gate 1, Gate 3 etc. Oh and a 'goods dock' 
(or similar wording)).


Nice question/problem ... but not solvable by this proposed tag:value?

name=company?


I'm not a software developer, but 2x name= doesn't sound like a great 
idea if you want to make an association.


Also entering data like phone number twice etc. doesn't sound like a 
great idea either, unless the reception actually has a special one (but 
often it's probably just the main number of the POI)



E.g.
If there were two companies in the same building both accountants .. how
do you distinguish between them ?
office=accountant
  name=company1

and the other
office=accountant
  name=company2

Or am I missing something?


You are missing that those are 2 nodes where there is no connection and 
you aren't interested in any connection. But when you have...


office=accountant
name=company1

office=accountant
name=company2

amenity=reception_desk
name=company1

amenity=reception_desk
name=company2

...you want to make a connection between those offices and receptions. 
The way you suggest tagging here would for example mean you can't give 
the reception desk and individual name anymore. For example when you 
then use the tagging system on a large facility and want to name a 
recption name=Company xyz gate 1 you can't use that system to connect 
it to company xyz.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - Reception Desk

2015-03-15 Thread johnw
Places where I have visited for computer repair (a couple thousand calls) - 
almost all professional buildings - the places that would rent offices to 
business people and small firms (Baka, inc) - the lobby has a common reception 
center, and the complex is almost always named (the FooBar Professional 
Building) - so reception is part of the *building complex* not the company.  
You go to “FooBar reception” - not “baka, Inc” reception. 

When people tell you to “go to reception and check in” - they don’t mean to go 
to reception in their office, they mean to go to reception for the building. 
you may not need to link the reception to all the different offices in a 
building or even in an office park, as the reception would be inside a single 
named landuse, and that is the named landuse people would be going to, just as 
people go to a mall and then go to the store in a mall. 

The next step up is large suites or whole floor rentals - in that case, the 
reception is (usually) the entrance to the floor, and the reception is just for 
the company (like a law firm) - and when indoor (and multi-floor modeling) 
mapping is finalized, the reception would be a point or area inside the 
businesses area, like a parking lot in a business’ landuse. These obvious 
receptions are not crucial to be mapped, but receptions in business parks, 
large office complexes, individual companies’ large business campuses, etc  are 
important, and this is what it is for.

Obvious things are not critical to be mapped. ? Umm well .. I'd not put it that 
way ...

My reason for the proposal was that I saw it as part of another proposal 
(extension to camp_sites) and realised that it had a much broader use ..
One place I know of has one reception .. and it is a long way from the 'front 
gate' say 600 m and you pass quite a few buildings to get to it.
So indicating the reception is very beneficial there. So 'we' agree that the 
'difficult' case is the one that needs mapping.

 Off topic...

My thinking on mapping 'obvious things' .. they may be obvious to you or a 
local or some one on the spot.. less so for a visitor or someone just looking 
at a map.
Thus a place that is a park .. if it has a bbq and water and shelter and a 
picnic table ..
while all those may be obvious when your there .. if you are a visitor looking 
for a quite spot to have lunch .. that park with the added features becomes 
tempting.

So it becomes a judgement call as to mapping something .. like the size of 
cobblestones. Not something I'd map.
I'd not map a reception desk either unless it is somewhere unexpected, hard to 
find ... or?
There is always something I've not though of .. the exception that makes life 
interesting.
And that is why I like tags that are not too restrictive as they can be applied 
to that unexpected situation.

In that case, would not then the individual companies have individual

And those desks could be named with the companies name - operator tag

And they may well be collocated with the companies area within the

Either use a site relation (if the reception area is not inside the feature

 The level of opposition -- regardless of the technical count -- indicates
 the proposal can use some improvement.
 I urge any person getting this level of opposition to reconsider, resolve
 the issues, and resubmit.




If you look at the actual comments, almost none of them are useful,
sometimes already answered (but still repeated by following voters). E.g.


- It's not simple at all. Using amenity
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity=* for this makes it
impossible to combine it with such POIs. Also why amenity at all? For me it
looks like a I didn't find anything better, I mean amenity
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity=reception_desk
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dreception_desk can't
even stand on its owm.

with which POI should this be combined _on the same object_? I mean, this
is a tag for a reception desk, obviously it can be combined with other
amenities by putting it inside them, but you won't have many objects that
are at the same time a reception desk and don't know, toilets? An example
why this is a problem would help to understand the reservation.



- this comment pops up several times (as the only reason for opposition):
The tag is related to tourism and not to amenity.

but it was already answered: this is nothing particular to tourism, it can
appear in all kinds of companies, administration contexts etc.



- vague, half-baked is not a critic that helps to improve or even shows
potential problems



- The proposal Sems to me too isolated, it should be embedded in an indoor
tagging scheme.

the voter wants a complete indoor tagging scheme and therefor opposes a tag
that might be one of the first steps towards this?


-  It should not be an amenity, the definition is vague, and in most cases
this should go under indoor mapping, which is quite a complex subject.

I didn't know indoor mapping was a different part of the project. You can
discuss the vagueness of the definition, but to me A Reception Desk
provides a place where a visitor goes to gain information and or access to
the facility e.g. could be in a motel, office, campsite. It has been
suggested as an additional tag for a campsite .. but would be better as a
general tag as reception desks occur in many other places. isn't too vague.


- This tag needs more time.

not helping in any way to find potential problems. No substantial critique.


the only useful point of critique is this one IMHO:  The reception is not
necessarily a 'desk'.

More than the proposal I think the reasoning for opposing the proposal
would have to be improved.

Martin

I voted yes for amenity... however I agree the tourism/amenity issue
should be worked out and the proposal resubmitted for vote.

I find tourism wrong, because valuable reception areas exist
at conferences (say, at State of the Map), and in a variety of
commercial areas having nothing to do with tourism.

reception_point may be better than reception_desk.

This are also closely related to concepts such as hotel checkin desk,
and a staffed information kiosk or security desk.  In all cases it's a
place where
a visitor will typically go first.  We can expect over time the staffed
reception desk will be replaced with a machine, in which one swipes some
sort of identify card.

I'm wondering, there seems to be potential overlap with
tourism=information. From what is written on the reception desk page, it
seems like the main difference is that the tag reception_desk also controls
access to a site, and a reception desk which only gives information may as
well be tagged tourism=information. Is that accurate?

 Look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity and tell me those

 And you can't put them inside and amenity if it's just a node of a
 building like for example many doctors. By adding *=reception_desk to such
 a node it would be clear that someone did not just put a random node
 somewhere on the building, but that the doctor is actually there.

 Also what about receptions at big companies, factories etc. where you
 often also have a gate. Do you just use the tag for that? Is reception_DESK
 really fitting?

 like for example many doctors.


Tagging a node with reception_desk is not the given use case.

The  reception_desk proposal was about helping a person find the reception
area in a larger space
such as a campground or conference centre.  A large space may have several
information boards,
a dozen doors, and but usually just one main starting place for
visitors.  In a hotel, this is also known
as reception, and it's the place you check in to rooms and pay.   At a
conference like SToM, it's the place
you say your name and pick up your ticket.

- It's not simple at all. Using amenity
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity=* for this makes it
impossible to combine it with such POIs. Also why amenity at all? For me
it looks like a I didn't find anything better, I mean amenity
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity=reception_desk
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dreception_desk can't
even stand on its owm.

with which POI should this be combined _on the same object_? I mean,
this is a tag for a reception desk, obviously it can be combined with
other amenities by putting it inside them, but you won't have many
objects that are at the same time a reception desk and don't know,
toilets? An example why this is a problem would help to understand the
reservation.


Look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity and tell me those 
don't have reception desks.


And you can't put them inside and amenity if it's just a node of a 
building like for example many doctors. By adding *=reception_desk to 
such a node it would be clear that someone did not just put a random 
node somewhere on the building, but that the doctor is actually there.


Also what about receptions at big companies, factories etc. where you 
often also have a gate. Do you just use the tag for that? Is 
reception_DESK really fitting?

anything that is big enough to have a reception is better represented by an 
area than by a node- IMHO. At the time I micromap  the reception I'd likely 
also convert the node POI into an area


So how do you now connect the reception with the area? What if you have 
different levels?

 Sorry, but amenity= is the wrong key. Should be tourism= IMHO.

Hmm, i don't think so. While it may be sometimes, its more of amenity than 
tourism. Lets take an extreme case, a caravan park. Yes, the most likely role 
of the caravan park is tourism (but maybe not). But the reception desk is just 
an amenity, you book in there, pay a fee, complain. The reception desk itself 
has no tourism function.

 Perfect: we'll just invent a new OSM primitive, the sub node, for

 If you look at the actual comments, almost none of them are useful,
 sometimes already answered (but still repeated by following voters). E.g.


 - It's not simple at all. Using amenity
 https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity=* for this makes it
 impossible to combine it with such POIs. Also why amenity at all? For me it
 looks like a I didn't find anything better, I mean amenity

 amenities by putting it inside them, but you won't have many objects that
 are at the same time a reception desk and don't know, toilets? An example
 why this is a problem would help to understand the reservation.



 - this comment pops up several times (as the only reason for opposition):
 The tag is related to tourism and not to amenity.

 but it was already answered: this is nothing particular to tourism, it can
 appear in all kinds of companies, administration contexts etc.



 - vague, half-baked is not a critic that helps to improve or even shows
 potential problems



 - The proposal Sems to me too isolated, it should be embedded in an
 indoor tagging scheme.

 the voter wants a complete indoor tagging scheme and therefor opposes a
 tag that might be one of the first steps towards this?


 -  It should not be an amenity, the definition is vague, and in most
 cases this should go under indoor mapping, which is quite a complex
 subject.

 I didn't know indoor mapping was a different part of the project. You
 can discuss the vagueness of the definition, but to me A Reception Desk
 provides a place where a visitor goes to gain information and or access to
 the facility e.g. could be in a motel, office, campsite. It has been
 suggested as an additional tag for a campsite .. but would be better as a
 general tag as reception desks occur in many other places. isn't too vague.


 - This tag needs more time.

 not helping in any way to find potential problems. No substantial critique.


 the only useful point of critique is this one IMHO:  The reception is not
 necessarily a 'desk'.

 More than the proposal I think the reasoning for opposing the proposal
 would have to be improved.

 Martin

[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - Reception Desk

2015-02-27 Thread Warin

Time to vote .. on a fairly simple thing ..


A Reception Desk provides a place where a visitor goes to gain 
information and or access to the facility. Particularly usefull for in 
any multibuilding site or large building the location of the reception 
is usefull information, particularly where there is only one amongst a 
number of large buildings.


Amenity=reception_desk is the best fit - more universal than 
office=reception_desk as they occur in hotels and campsites.
Reception desk (or what I take to be reception deask) occurs in the 
OSM data base about 900 times, mostly with campsite 556 times. This is 
an attempt to formalize its use and make it more widely available. Its 
use should increase one approved and documented.
