thanks for all your comments so far. could a clay pit that is used only to excavate clay be put under quarry, or would that be missleading? I know that these are all open-cast mines, but the wikipedia entry for quarry seems somehow not precise enough when it comes to delimiting the usage.
i'd consider it acceptable usage in the context of OSM. it might initially confuse someone who had never considered the question before but then there's lots of stuff in the osm wiki like that. the operative issue is that you're digging a hole or excavating the side of a hill or something to access mineral resources. that's quarrying. richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
