Re: [Tagging] Fwd: Walking & Cycling Node Network tagging: undoing the hijacking of rcn and rwn

2019-09-04 Thread Peter Elderson
I think it's the best AND the easiest solution.
Network configuration type is currently not tagged. Nederland, Belgium and
Germany decided to use rcn exclusively for the cycle node networks. Later
they copied that to rwn for the emerging walking node networks.
We now want to correct that, but we also want a clear difference between
the network condfigurations. Then renderers and other data users can make
the distinction.

We have considered using another network=* value. But the transport mode is
still in there, as is the geographical scope. So you would need extra
values for all combinations of mode, scope and config. If yet another
network config type emerges, you will need more network values. Every data
user has to decode the values to know what's going on. While what we want
is just to indicate that this particular rcn route is part of a node
network.

This is true for all transport modes (now and future) and for all
geographical scopes, now and future.

So we came to the solution that it is by far the most effective and at the
same time the easiest solution to just add the information that a route is
part of a node network in a separate tag. The bonus is that other network
systems can be accommodated as well. E.g. some regions and some nature
parks in Nederland have a "colour choice network", where you can follow a
(self-planned) sequence of signposted coloured routes.

The extra bonus of this solution is that currently tagged node network
routes need no retagging, just addition of the information that they are
part of a node network. This allows renderers and other data users to
refine the display or handling of the existing rXn routes.

We thought of network_type as a key. This is not a new key, it has some
non-conflicting usage. We could introduce a new key as a namespaced
variant: network:type=*.

If this is still confusing: feel free to suggest better names and values to
indicate that a route belongs to a network system of the node variety.

Why don't you continue to use network=* ? Invent a new value for network= 
instead of introducing a new, but confusing tag called "network_type".

I understand that using network_type would be easier. You just add the tag to 
the already tagged node networks that are currently using network=rwn.

But is introducing a new tag "network_type=" really the best solution? Or is it 
the easiest solution?

I agree with your point. Had I been around, I probably would have voted not to 
mix scope and mode in one tag. At the same time, the proposed tag for network 
configuration type does not change this, nor does it propagate it. So I would 
like to keep this a separate issue, and just talk about how to separate regular 
routes from node networks.

You know what I'm going to point out.

The redundant coding of transportation kind in the the geographical
scope was a mistake, but is a done deed for cycling and hiking. BUT
there is no need to propagate repeating the mistake for every other
transportation mode, lets just stick with local, regional, national and
international these (historically I suspect that the values came from
direct tagging on ways,  lcn=yes and similar).

Thanks for the illustrations!

network=* gives geographical scope (local, regional, national,
international) and transport mode (bicycle, foot, canoe, horse, mtb, ski,
skate, )

network_type gives network configuration type (chain of ways;
node_network=network of nodes)

The network configuration type is applicable to all geographical scopes and
all transport modes. By adding this as a separate tag the network=rXn tag
is free again for regional routes. This applies in Nederland, Belgium and
Germany. In other countries the tag network_type creates the option to
register node networks in OSM if they are implemented, without reserving a
mode/scope network=XXn tag which may be already in use for regular routes
(conform the wiki's about routes).

Please feel free to offer other solutions!

You probably mean network=lcn instead of route=lcn

So hiking node network would still be tagged with network=rwn, but you would 
just add network_type=node_network.

If yes, then I find this a bad proposal. What is the difference between 
network=* and network_type=*

Do not choose network_type because it's the most easy solution!!!

Some pictures might make it more clear for somebody who has never heard of this 
system:

This is an example of a node: (in this case node 55) 
https://pretwerk.nl/wp-content/uploads/knopen-lopen.jpg

From that point, individual waymarks indicate the route to one of the 
connecting nodes (54, 91 and 56 in this case). 
So, along the road between two nodes, you will then find this kind of signs:
