yep. I avoided a vote on the proposal because too many people were suggesting 
to use various combinations of natural=spring+temparature=XX and similar 
instead.

However Tag:natural=hot_spring has been created anyway, apparently is marked as 
"de facto" since 2015 and nobody complained since than so it would seem alright 
to file a ticket to OpenCarto asking to have it rendered.

Some hot springs just look like
regular springs. But hot springs in volcanic areas are often sulfuric and
may have heavy mineral content. The picture on the wiki page shows an
impressive example. Others are boiling “mud pots”.

I didn’t find any uses of alternative tagging of natural=spring with
spring=hot or spring=hot_spring on Overpass Turbo, and the combinations
listed with natural=spring by Taginfo do not show anything hot-spring
related (though there may be something with less than 1000 uses)

I don’t see any tags with natural=spring and spring=geyser on overpass
turbo either.

Re: [Tagging] Hot springs

2014-03-13 Thread johnw
To me, Amenity=onsen is similar to amenity=townhall.

for many onsen, there is no particular room you would say is " the onsen," just 
like no particular room is the "townhall", It is the title of the facility 
itself..  The purpose of the facility becomes it's name. 

There might be some small facilities where a certain building is "the onsen", 
or there is a separation between the shower/prep areas and the actual bathing 
area, or like a Hotel with a public onsen indoors, and and separate, outdoor 
bath(s) outside. 

Tag the amenity on the landuse for the hotel, or tag the amenity onto the hotel 
building with :outdoor=no, and :outdoor=yes on the actual outdoor bath 
building/pool. 

Same thing would go for a sauna. If the building itself is "bob's sauna" - the 
obviously tag the building or landuse. if only part of the area can be defined 
as "the sauna" - when the facility's purpose isn't to be a sauna, like a hotel 
complex or something, then just tag the sauna area by itself, right?

Yes, this is a very difficult point. I also could not define which is
better.
Maybe depending on the situation and country.

But from Japanese view, Onsen's main feature is as "public_bath" and
the type of bath is the sub category.
(and from operator's view, it is easier to make query :) )

If the facility announces they are "XXX's sauna" or given name, and they
are not onsen amenity,
it is better to tag them as "amenity=sauna" even in Japan.

not sure but usually the sauna in public baths is somewhat separated so
we might as well tag part of the object as sauna.

Yes, but they are rare case.
Most of onsen are hot water bath.
So might be represented by adding following sub_tags.

bath:sand_bath=[yes|no]  ; if the bathing amenity is sand bath (Suna_yu) or
not.
bath:sauna=[yes|no]  ; if the bathing amenity has sauna facility. (Use
it when the main function of the amenity is public_bath. consider using
"amenity=sauna" when the main purpose of the amenity is sauna)

May seem they are too trivial, but they have an importance to classify
onsen amenities.
And could be expanded for further trivial expression in the future.
(e.g. "effect of the bath", "bath:color", "bath:drinkable", "kakenagashi"
or etc.)

Re: [Tagging] Hot springs

2014-03-07 Thread John Willis
That's true - this is a specific pool, and would be an amenity offered, usually 
to the public next to the sidewalk out front ( usually anyone walking by can 
stick them in) not an overall feature - like a drinking fountain. Sometimes 
they are inside, in a common waiting area, so if you decide not to bathe with 
friends, you can at least soak your feet. Perhaps amenity=foot bath? Maybe it's 
not best for bath type then.  I dunno.

not sure if this is really a bath type, my suggestion would be to make it a
pool:type or something similar, as it seems to be not refering to the

 in your case I think I'd most probably use "onsen" to have a very specific
tag for the very specific feature you are trying to map, something like
"hot spring bath" is not as specific as "onsen" (e.g. also refering to
style and the legal requirements you laid out above: "The water of "onsen"

Thx all!
I'm very surprised Onsen is in the Oxford Dictionary :)

So I would add following description table and some samples to
"amenity=public_bath" page in next a few days.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpublic_bath

* bath:type = onsen
** amenity has bathing amenity, and the waters from natural hot spring.
Common in Japan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsen

* bath:type = foot_bath
** foot_bath is usually are a (free) service offered in the front of the
onsen to passerbys. It's very shallow, and surrounded by seats, it's like a
big sink, rather than a pool. "Ashiyu" in Japanese.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashiyu

* bath:open_air = [yes|no]
** bathing amenity which has "open air" bath. "Roten buro" in Japanese.

Yes. so I'll make a comment for it as samples.

So, I would like to hear the situations of other countries.


There is no single word in english that means onsen, so it would have

yes, quite often am I wondering whether I should add a particular little
known gem to OSM for this exact reason.
For the foreseeable future I don't think OSM is likely to be a major factor
trashing them, other media are quicker spreading the news and lists of POIs.
With an OSM map, I don't want to be the last one knowing;)

no longer I have changed it to natural_hot_spring and it is supposed to be
the hole where hot water exits, along with a tag describing the water
characteristic.

We have many other ways to map amenitie.s and tourist attractions so that
these are merely listed in the proposal

This is for an amenity for a building - like Sauna. not a natural=hot_spring 
(which is what you are talking about), so cool your waters.

Searching the word "onsen" in Japanese returned 58,000 pins in Japan - It's no

In the US, there are actually several onsens setup by Japanese people for 
Japanese tourists, but Americans don't know they exist. There are natural hot 
baths and springs (Murrieta Hot Springs in East Los Angeles, for example) but 
there is absolutely no culture of public hot spring bathing, nor locations 
easily available in the US, as opposed to a sauna/steam room or spa resorts 
that can be found in every major city.

Sento is basically a bath from heated water, right? so basically 
amenity=public_bath, right?

For others reading this: Noting foot_bath is good, as they are usually are a 
(free) service offered in the front of the onsen to passerbys - a way to try 
the water without going inside, or in public areas. 
it's very shallow, and surrounded by seats, it's like a big sink, rather than a 
pool. Locating them (there's usually several in a hot spring resort town) is 
great for finding them when walking around a big resort area like Kusatsu or 
Ikaho. They are common throughout Japan, and there are several famous ones as 
well (like the one next to the hot springs in the center of town in Kusatsu).

Nice to tag open_air too. I went to an onsen in Toyama near the beach, and I 
was surprised there was no open air bath. having it tagged would be great.  

I hope that people here recognize how common Onsens are in Japan, How essential 
they are to domestic and international tourists, and they are distinct compared 
to any other bathing amenity (like a sauna).

ok, well I was not proposing the use of a "geothermal" tag at any time. 
John wanted to know if there is a difference between "volcanic" and 
"geothermal",
and yes there is.

Aside of that I don't agree with your argumentation anyway. Why would 
I introduce a new term like deep-earth-heat when there are perfectly
accepted and widely used terms such as volcanic and geothermal?

Should use something like "tree-containing-area" to resolve the forrest 
vs. wood issues once for all times?

That's true - but a very bad style for osm tagging, if you propose to
use the superset's name (geothermal) for the superset MINUS the subset,
so basically you propose to use the superset's name for a subset.

Reminds me at the ugly natural=tree issue some time ago, where
originally natural=tree referred to "outstanding", "landmark" or
"important" trees, which lead to trouble when other mappers started to
map "common" trees even in groups of trees or small "forests" one by one.

By the way: is it volcanic if and only if it's breaking through the
surface, or even in a geysir, or even where it's known to be some ten
meters below the surface? Where it get's volcanic?

Therefore I disagree about using geothermal for the subset not
containing volcanic activity. Use deep-earth-heat or whatever term for a
subset, or define a specialized subtag for the subsets (volcanic,
...(non-volcanic?), (others?)).

So, if I am understanding you correctly, an onsen doesn't necessarily have 
water available, but, if water is available, it must be from a hot spring?  If 
onsen doesn't necessarily imply the presence of a hot spring, then I don't 
think the English translation in the wiki should translate the term as "hot 
spring".  Also, I was under the impression that the standard in OSM was to use 
British terminology in tags.

as this starts to go slightly offtopic I enjoy posting also this wikipedia
reference which might be interesting in the context:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_internal_heat_budget

Interestingly the 47 Terawatts of thermal power arriving at the surface
from the interiors of earth is just 0.03% of all superficial thermal power
(because 173000 TW or 99.97 % are coming from solar radiation).

wanting to relax in one is not really a definition of a hot spring.

we might think about an optional temperature tag but in my opinion it would be
one of the more problematic tags. The temperature may not be exactly known

geothermal=yes would be closer. But in a strict sense this would exclude springs

yes but it is a difference. If we can do better we should not introduce 
new tags only to use them incorrectly afterwards.

* hot_spring would catch everything that is called hot_spring, I am still 
thinking about geysirs.
* geothermal would not apply for many south Italian hot springs, Methana 
(Greece) and Yellowstone
  ( http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2005/3024/, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prismatic_Spring ) 
  ammong others

Now consider the definitions in wikipedia

* temperature:
** wikipedia-de: above 20°C ("Gemäß den Begriffsbestimmungen werden in 
Deutschland Grundwässer als Thermalwasser bezeichnet, wenn ihre Temperatur am 
Austrittsort mehr als 20 °C beträgt")
** wikipedia-en: 
*** a spring with water temperatures above its surroundings[2]
*** a natural spring with water temperature above body temperature – normally 
between 36.5 and 37.5 °C (97.7 and 99.5 °F)[3]
*** a natural spring with warm water above body temperature[4]
*** a thermal spring with water warmer than 36.7 °C (98 °F)[5][6]
*** a natural spring of water greater than 21.1 °C (70 °F) (synonymous with 
thermal spring)[7][8][9][10]
*** a natural discharge of groundwater with elevated temperatures[11]
*** a type of thermal spring in which hot water is brought to the surface. The 
water temperature of a hot spring is usually 6.5 °C (12 °F) or more above mean 
air temperature.[12] Note that by this definition, "thermal spring" is not 
synonymous with the term "hot spring"
*** a spring whose hot water is brought to the surface (synonymous with a 
thermal spring). The water temperature of the spring is usually 8.3 °C (15 °F) 
or more above the mean air temperature.[13]
*** a spring with water above the core human body temperature – 36.7 °C (98 
°F).[14]
*** a spring with water above average ambient ground temperature,[15] a 
definition favored by some
*** a spring with water temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F)[16]

I would not want to go as far as fixing wikipedia before making a definitionin 
OSM

So my conclusion - using the locally accepted classification is the only usable
definition of hot springs.

Hi Richard,
Aren't volcanos exactly what geothermal refers to, only near or at the
surface instead of deep down in the earth?
IMHO geothermal refers to "using the thermal energy (aka heat) of the
earth", which of course in general is higher if you go deeper down, but
the temperature per depth is variable, and at a volcano you just get
high temperature even in low depths, but that's all.

another proposal was to use the same symbol as for normal springs in a red
color.

I can add a leisure=onsen to the proposal, which would take the onsen
symbol.

But I need clarification regarding the meaning of the word "onsen" :

* does onsen water always come from natural hot springs?
* there are many natural, undelopped hot springs in Japan.
  Are those also called "onsen"?

PS: the onsen icon (♨) is always for an amenity - a hotel or resort that offers 
a hot spring bath, or a purpose-built, stand alone structure (crude or ornate) 
just to provide a bathing experience - but it is not just a hole in the ground 
with a rope around it. It is always an amenity offered by a business, similar 
to a lap swimming pool vs a pond, or a fire hydrant vs a spring.

The onsen icon (♨) is commonly used all over Japan (of course), and is a great 
icon (a hot bath with steam rising out) to represent a place to get a hot 
natural bath vs a natural park's hot-spring.  "Onsen" always means naturally 
sourced hot water as well, vs a bathhouse (amenity=spa? showers?), which merely 
heats up the water with a boiler for you to use.

amenity=hot_spring_bath might be a good differentiation, because ♨ = bath

I don't like this subjective tagging, because it's more then "localy
known as xy". Mainly it depends on temperature of water vs temperature
of air. In a cold region a spring with 20°C could be known as hot
spring just because all other springs are much colder. But you would
agree, that no one wants to jump in there and relax ;)

So for this case you have to take care also about temp=*.

But I understand your wish to classify a spring a bit more detailed. I
think it would be better to use additional tags for natural=spring.
Eg. termal=yes or something similar.

as you mentioned we already have various methods to map bathing facilities,
thanks for pointing out leisure=public_bath.

So the idea is to have
natural=hot_spring - the hole in earth where hot water is comming out
+ natural=water - if there is a pool of water around it
+ water_characteristic - attached to both spring and water
+ all other related facilities mapped with their own well known tags such 
  as tourism=attraction, amenity=public_bath, leisure=beach_resort, 
  natural=beach, sport=swimming .. please add those which I have forgotten.

Some of those tags, like swimming need improvement which is independent from
this proposal.

water_characteristic is intended to be reusable for natural=spring and all
waterways and other water bodies.

natural=hot_spring is for springs of natural origin. A leisure=onsen is 
orthogonal to this so those could be easily combined if the onsen is from
a natural source. Otherwise you would have just leisure=onsen.

thanks for the input. I am not aware of many sulfurous hot springs in
Europe, one of them is on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methana
peninsula.
Do you think characterising that as sulfurous would be fine? I think we
need something a "main characteristic" for layman usage and something
for the detailed properties. I am not yet sure if these should be combined
in one (multivalued) tag or done in separate tags.

"effluent_characteristic" might be a very good idea to map all kinds of
fluid material. I was even thinking reusing it to characterise lava streams
but then we would need a separate tag for solid lava fields, probably not
so good.

So maybe water_characteristic which could be used for everything from mudpots
to saltwater in the ocean.

Hi,

+1 to Tobias.

I feel it needs clarification for this tag scope.

I think it was "leisure=hot_spring" once,
and switched to "natural=hot_spring".
So the main purpose of this scheme is now "natural".
Like to represent a geyser or some natural features, it seems.

So it is better to make another tag scheme to represent "Onsen" ♨ bathing
facility.

Many Japanese rural "tourism=hotel" has Onsen amenity.
And there is "amenity=public_bath" already.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpublic_bath

# Some Japanese mappers use "amenity=public_bath" to represent "Sento".
# "Sento" is like a spa, but more daily used amenity.
# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sent%C5%8D

In my opinion, to represent a "Onsen Hotel",
e.g.
"tourism=hotel"
"amenity=public_bath"
"leisure=onsen"

or some combination. (yes, this is very draft!)

Cheers.

There would also be a need to map bathing facilities sometimes connected
with such springs, though. I assume this is no longer within the
proposal's scope after the key switch?

On a related note, can anyone clarify what exactly the ♨ symbol still
mentioned in the proposal refers to exactly? Is it about hot springs in
general or specifically about bathing facilities? Wikipedia (en)
redirects the character to the "Onsen" page.

Re: [Tagging] Hot springs

2014-03-03 Thread Dave Swarthout
Speaking as a chemist, the term "sulfuric" would imply strong acidity as in
sulfuric acid. What you're looking for I believe is a term to indicate if
the water smells bad or not. Many hot springs have a rotten egg smell lent
to the water by dissolved hydrogen sulfide (H2S), some of which escapes
into the atmosphere to assault one's nose. This water would also be acidic
but not to the same degree as "sulfuric" suggests. Perhaps sulfide=yes/no
or sulfurous=yes/no would work better.

Also, I like the term water_characteristic or something similar. A more
general, because not limited to water, but less common term might be
effluent_characteristic. This would cover hot springs that involve mud,
steam, or other stuff coming out of the ground.  If water only, then
effluent_characteristic=water
or
effluent_characteristic=water+steam
It might even be extended to include hydrogen sulfide:
effluent_characteristic=water+sulfide

Regards,
Dave

forgotten to answer this detail.. sulfuric may be a special case of mineral but 
the
difference is very characteristic.

I am in favor of mapping the most characteristic water properties first and 
possibly more
detailed chemical composition as far as known and somehow important.

that is fine. The current proposal is one natural=hot_spring for each
spring (we alread have natural=spring for those which are not hot).

water characteristics can be tagged per spring and per pool.

current possibilities to map swimming are next to useless, that is on my 
list. For now sport=swimming is the only way to map anything ranging from
toddler swimming, leisure swimming, skinny dipping, chunky dumping,
ice swimming, competition swimming or the Ka'iwi Channel swim.

not really sure what you mean with this. natural=water is clearly endorsed
"If there is a significant pool of water around the hot spring, use 
natural=water"

sport=swimming is not perfect but until there is something better
its better than nothing - and if there ever is a better way to
map swimming it should be easy enough to change.

not by temperature, which is very subjective as explained in the rationale.
Where a spring is localy known as hot spring or thermal spring it should be
mapped as such.

Consistence is a standard English word, but a relatively uncommon one, compared 
to consistency. It would be good to tag any hot springs that are caustic enough 
that you wouldn't want skin contact, whether due to acidity or alkalinity.

seems I am am bit archaic with my English. Content, composition, 
characteristics. 
Not required to be a detailed chemical analysis, a practical description like
mud, saltwater, freshwater, sulfuric water, mineral water. Possibly multivalued
with a list of the main minerals where notable.

Meanwhile I thought the same tag should be good to characterise the water 
quality of 
the oceans, the Dead sea, the Azov sea (if it still exists) and freshwater... 
would 
be a pitty not to have this.

So perhaps "water_characteristics" ?

Well, think it might get tricky. I know places where you will find
several springs right next to each other. Some are hot, some are warm
and some are cold. All have different contents not depending on the
temperature.

If you it is save to take a bath or even drink the water does not really
depend on the temperature either.

Even in hot places/areas it might get cold at night and I remember it
was fun bathing in ~45°C hot water in Africa at midnight though the air
temperature was below 15°C.

Another point is the use of sports=swimming which is way to general
defined so far and should not be used for every places where you can go
swimming but for places with some infrastructure.
Well, please think about adding water=* and removing sports=swimming
from the part about lakes/ponds.

All together, I am not really sure if it is smart to split springs by
temperature.

"consistence" is not standard English. You probably don't mean

Dear Richard,

thanks for your initiative. I agree with your arguments why a specific tag 
"natural=hot_spring" is better than "natural=spring" and "temp=*". It is 
something different.

Not sure about the word "consistence" which looks strange to me (but I'm not 
native). And also not very sure about the values: E.g. "mineral" - every spring 
contains minerals, the interesting point is which and how much. "sulfuric" - 
just a special case of "mineral" - why pick this one and not the others 

Just asking, not being specialist for hot_springs so cannot bring a solution. 
But would like to have them als on OSM, so I can go and jump in if I happen to
