sure, for green areas it isn't, for paved ones it IMO is. > * surface=grass, surface=lawn, surface=whatever - I don't like this > because what I really want to map is not that my neighbour has a lawn > behind his house, but the fact that there is a private "green" property add access=private? > - I think it makes no sense to try to map and tag every piece of these > areas like "this" is grass, "this" is a bed of carrot, "there" are > roses, "here" we have some bushes etc. why not? As long as people do want to do this and only tag what is there, I don't have a problem with it. > * leisure='garden' or leisure='park' - see above leisure=park is not the right choice, sure. But leisure=garden could IMO qualify. a) because it is at least in some areas common practise ;-) and b) the size of the garden is already determined by the size of the polygon. If you use this tag only for huge gardens of estates/castles it is more or less useless and hard to tell the difference from a park. Parks also have sometimes fences around them, limited access, no access, fee for access, castles / mansions and others inside them. Big gardens are basically parks! Gardens on the other hand can be completely different, from french barocque gardens to English gardens to zen gardens (not even green). All of them are usually much bigger then the usual detached house garden, and can therefore simply be differentiated automatically just by their size (e.g. mapnik can do this without any "additional processing" just by standard rules). For human readers of the map it is even easier. I therefore suggest to use leisure=garden and add subtags for the style (some might suit only bigger gardens): garden=Chinese garden=English garden=à_la_française (for French gardens) garden=rosarium (for rose gardens) garden=unclassified (suitable for many small private gardens) and maybe also subtags for the use: a) flower garden b) fruit and vegetable / kitchen garden (what tag could suit this? type?) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
