Re: [Tagging] Mapping generic sheds

@Steve Interesting fact that even within Oxford resources the definitions differ. 4 I also did a picture search for "barn" on google, and noticed that "barn" for the type of building is shared widely, but the usage has endless variation (stuff, cattle, crop, retail, storage, restaurants, culture),

Re: [Tagging] Mapping generic sheds

Thank you all. Then if in UK English we can use 'barn' to indicate a building that may include animal sheltering I think it would solve my question. Rachele (isoipsa) ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/list

Re: [Tagging] Mapping generic sheds

The problem is that (British) English does not have a word for a generic animal-stable. "stable" is for horses. "cow shed" is for bovines, "pigsty" for pigs. In the US a "barn" may include animal sheltering, but not in UK-English. On 4 May 2018 at 09:39, Martin Koppenhoefer wrote: > > > sent fr
