Probably a good idea Robert. The main idea of my post was to show Ulf that using the proposed civilization and civilization:period-tags shouldn't be any harder than normally. The example chosen by Ulf was something that probably is dealt with in: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dcastle and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Darchaeological_site and that is where I got the tags, I did not do any own thinking ragarding the off-topic-tags. Both of the wiki-pages above have plenty of.._type. Maybe a suggestion from you on the discussion-page would come in handy. If you look closely on my post, you can see that I had an alternative tagging with tripple subtags: historic:civilization:period:bronze age and even another alternative with quadruple tagging historic:civilization:Celtic:period:bronze age I haven´t got the idea yet, but guess it isn´t supposed to be like that. /Johan J _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
