So most agree that the Latin name is the correct way of tagging. Tobias also suggests keeping the species:de/en/... for users that don't know the latin name or don't have the time to look it up.
This seems to be the only valid reason to still use the species:en/de... tag, but I believe this would fit better in a fixme tag (because it's missing information). So that would give natural="tree" species="Quercus lanata" or for someone that know's it's an oak, but doesn't know the species: natural="tree" genus="Quercus" or for someone who doesn't have the time to check the Latin translation of "oak": natural="tree" fixme="this is an oak" This makes species:en/de... completely unnecessary. Is there someone against this way of tagging for species? cheers, Sander _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
