have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_house_types I posted this already. It is not vague, it is unstructured. As I said above: The usual building types for residential houses are: - single house (detached house) - semi-detached house (duplex) - terraced house - apartment building (block of flats) / condominium public housing is not about typology, mobile home probably is, but I don't know what sense there is to tag it, as it has no "place" (it is mobile). Again: these are types for houses as mentioned above. They are not types of urban structure (but may imply the latter according to local habits/culture). There are also mixed use houses, in Germany we call this "Wohn- und Geschäftshaus", which is "residential and commercial building". And last there are also special cases like the experiments of Le Corbusier: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Cite_Radieuse_5.jpg&filetimestamp=20090116135543 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Briey_unite_d_habitation.jpg which were intended to be small cities in one building and they have shops in the middle (7th and 8th floor AFAIR). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
