I really don't feel experienced enough to give sound advice about this, but here is a concrete case to think about: One club in my city has two "places". The first one (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/92612662) is their building used mostly for social events. I tagged it as amenity=community_centre, which is not very good, but I think it was the best tag I had at the time. Retaggin it as leisure=club (and see note 1, below) would be perfect. The second "place" owned by this club (http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/92715686) is tagged as leisure=sports_centre, which, I think, is very adequate. That place *is* a sports center (which, incidentally, is used almost exclusively by club members.) I could retag it as leisure=club club=sport sport=multi, but we would be losing a bit of useful information (namely, that that place is a sports center). (I could use "leisure=club;sports_centre", but I am not a big fan of multiple values for a tag). That said, I am not advocating one approach or another. As I said before, I am not experienced enough to see the deeper implications of using one or another tagging scheme. Take this as food or though, and feel free to just ignore it :-) Just two other notes: 1) Would the "building for social events" be one of these "generic" clubs, without a specific club=*? Maybe we could add a tag like club=social, club=social_events. (Or something that sounds better in English...) 2) Now a suggestion that may actually be useful: I see you suggested a club=history tag, for clubs "devoted to (local) history and traditions". I'd suggest using separate tags for club=history and club=tradition. Here in my state, there is an important "chain of clubs" that is devoted to preserve the regional traditions (music, dance, food, legends...) But calling a club like this club=history just doesn't feel right. History often clashes with the traditions, local legends and local heroes... they are different things, IMHO. OK, I talked too much for the day. I'll try to stay quiet now :-) Cheers, LMB _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
