Just to help summarise, with these proposals we end up with: power=generator (the starting point)
power_rating (to specify the watts generated) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power_rating power_source (to specify the fuel type / energy source) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:power_source power_output (to specify what type energy is generated) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/power_type power_method (to specify how it generates the useful energy) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/power_method Regards, Tom On 17 August 2010 11:49, Tom Chance <[email protected]> wrote: > Following discussion here and on the wiki I have changed "power_type" to > "power_output": > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/power_type > > I have also introduced a new tag proposal, "power_method": > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/power_method > > This resolves ambiguities about what "solar thermal" means, retains the > advances offered by my original proposal, and opens up a whole world of fun > describing the method used by the generator to turn the fuel into useful > energy.
