Re: [Talk-GB] Latest OS Opendata

[Chris Hill]

I've added the Natural England dataset that shows CRoW Access land for 
England. The polygons were extracted from large multipolygons (ten 
covered all of England) so they have no individual metadata, such as a 
name.


I've now called the overlay openover to reflect that it's not just OS 
Greenspace. I intend to add some information to explain what is being 
shown and where it comes from, thanks to a helpful comment from Ed Loach.

Re: [Talk-GB] Edits in Wales

[Adam Snape]

The 'best mapping method' is somewhat subjective. If it were the sole
criteria, then we would instantly create documentation to replace lots of
the less than ideal tags which have developed and explicitly depreciate
either the classic (highway=footway/bridleway/cycleway) or 'alternative'
(highway= path, access=*) tagging schemes. We don't because there is no
consensus and existing use counts for a lot.

If there is genuine consensus upon a better way then perhaps this should be
documented. In the absence of such consensus, documenting how we actually
currently map is preferable (because it is already prevalent and
verifiable) to not documentating or documenting one school of thought on
how we ought to map (but don't yet).

I would think that the wiki should guide to the best mapping method, 
not what people have done in the past (as found using taginfo for 
example!).
