Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (brickkiln)

2014-10-26 Thread Megha Shrestha
We collected the list of the brick kilns from Brick kiln association for
Kathmandu Valley and even mapped the kilns from the satellite image as they
are distinct features. We went to the field where the brick kilns are
located, asked the authorized person for the information and permission to
upload the data in openstreetmap. While uploading the data to the
openstreetmap the necessary tags were not available, which is the reason
for proposing the additional tags.

 By field survey what do you mean?

 You can obviously collect data from what you can see, from signs.

 But my concern is much of this information could be seen as commercially
 sensitive, where does this information come from?
 Have you the necessary permissions to use that information?
 Was the person giving it authorised to do so?
 Did the person giving it understand how you intend to use the
 information?

 Thank you for the suggestion. These are the details that are already
 available to us and I think they can be huge help if made open which is the
 reason for me to suggest this tag. I have gone through your suggestions and
 will make the required edits. Use of existing tag can be a help. I will add
 the additional information you said will be relevant to the proposal page.
 There is no such community that keeps these data updated but we are the
 representatives of OSM in Nepal and we are trying to get data updated
 regularly in OSM and this is also a part of our project.



 As you are probably going to import data into OSM you should be aware that
 there are guidelines which you are required to follow, which contain
 besides other things the requirement of writing to the import mailing list
 and documenting everything in the wiki:

There is no such community that keeps these data updated but we are the
representatives of OSM in Nepal and we are trying to get data updated
regularly in OSM and this is also a part of our project. I find these data
relevant especially in the environment aspect and people should have access
to these data as I found that brick kilns are not much mapped in OSM. About
the operating season and the market they are quite stable in case of Nepal
for other countries I do not have much idea. I think landownership can be
added as a tag as brick kiln are mapped as an area.

I hope my explanation works and I will make edits to the page.

 I have seen on your proposal page that you are aware of the introduced
 man_made=kiln
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dkiln

 My suggestion is to use this established tagging scheme. If the only
 problem you see is that there are no size connotations on a node, then
 please use that tag on an area. There is also a suggestion to add
 product=bricks on the kiln page, so rather then proposing a new tag
 brickkiln you could use
 man_made=kiln
 and
 product=bricks

 You are also proposing a long list of additional tags, some of which are
 very detailed and I am not sure if these details are available to anyone
 besides the operator of the kiln (but that's not a problem, time will show
 which tags get adopted by the mappers and which aren't). If you are
 interesting in evaluating these tags I'd propose you add a list of possible
 values to these tags.

 My suggestion would be to map the chimneys individually with their own

 use simple and well established general tags like height on the
 individual chimney. Also the chimney number would be mapped implicitly by
 mapping the single chimneys.
