Re: [Tagging] diplomatic institutions (with tl;dr)
I'm a bit lost in this thread and hope that I'm not repeating what was already said, but there is extensive documentation on this topic in the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dembassy and linked pages. It might be disputable whether tagging consulate generals as embassies in the first level tag though. The above mentioned, more verbose suggestions (sending_country and destination_country rather than the documented country) make perfect sense also to me The current state is documented there, yes. But I think here and not there is the right place to discuss my new suggestions (diplomatic:sending_country=cc etc.). And amenity=embassy just way to specific, nobody wants amenity=consulate_general, ameninty=consulate etc. On http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:diplomatic is written: „Do not use diplomatic=* without amenity=embassy since it is not independently recognised by renderers.“ – that is true for now and I want to get rid of this. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] diplomatic institutions (with tl;dr)
Hi, thank you for your thoughts! diplomatic:country=ES I don’t think that is the best solution. Why not? As I wrote: The destination country is not always identical with addr:country – see for example the embassy of Ethiopia in Berlin (destination countries: Germany, Poland, Slovak Republic and Czech Republic), see http://aethiopien-botschaft.de/ So there is an embassy - located in Berlin (addr:country=DE), - the sending country is Ethiopia (diplomatic:sending_country=ET) - and the destination countries are Germany, Poland, Slovak Republic and Czech Republic (diplomatic:destination_country=DE;PL;SK;CZ).

Re: [Tagging] diplomatic institutions (with tl;dr)
Hi, While I've never tagged any form of diplomatic institution, I agree with the rationale behind your proposal. I do have some suggestions around implementation details. I would argue that you wouldn't need tags specifying what country the diplomatic institution is physically located in: one can (or at least, should!) be able to perform an is_in-type check for this. The country that the diplomatic institute belongs to is definitely useful, though. Additionally, I got diplomatic:sending and diplomatic:destination the other way around to you, so I think that you would need clearer naming. Perhaps diplomatic:country would be more appropriate? To take your example of a Spanish consulate in France, I would amend it to something along these lines: amenity=diplomatic diplomatic=consulate diplomatic:country=ES name=Spanish Consulate addr:country=FR Hope this helps.
