May will be sport and activity month for Project of the Week / Project of the Month.
Some aspects of tags in this space are well understood and widely used. Can we clear up a few more of them? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure=sports_centre might include racquet sport courts, a gymnasium, exercise equipment, a running track and an ice hockey rink. leisure=pitch, sport=* is well established. What is the ideal tagging for a shop with exercise equipment for use. Treadmills, stair climbers, stationary bikes, free weights and weight machines for use by members. Local slang here might call that a "gym". amenity=gym is used in ~400 locations with sport=gym and leisure=gym each near 50. Also locally, a "gymnasium" is a large indoor sport floor which can be configured for multiple sports like gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, murderball, etc. taginfo says only 16 instances of leisure=gymnasium are in OSM at the moment. A lone gymnasium would seem unusual around here. They are typically included as part of a leisure=sports_centre. Does that match with experiences elsewhere? Is the distinction between gym and gymnasium too fine? Should synonyms be found? And what about martial arts dojos? Amenity=dojo and sport=dojo are rare indeed with only a handful of entries. A dojo might be part of a gym that has a sport floor or held as an event at a sports_centre. Others are stand alone businesses. Around here, they are often in a retail store front, with a sport fioor of some sort, and changing rooms. They might also sell some of the tools or clothing associated with the sport. I'm inclined towards amenity=dojo, sport=martial_arts, martial_art=$specific_art _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
