I also think that we could need some classes for operators (maybe even subclasses, think of government, we'd tag operator:type=government and then subtag again which kind of entity it is). > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:operator#operator:type > (I don't know how changes are added to approved features' pages afterwards.) someone hits the "edit" button, modifies the page and hits OK ;-) You should only do this if the tag is widely in use and the given definition mostly undisputed (e.g. by announcing here and waiting some time to see what others think, before modifying the page). Btw.: the key is already in use, but nobody in the whole world so far used the value "charity", that's the actual usage: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/operator%3Atype#values btw2: Please do not encourage the use of abbreviations, if you are to add more suggested values to the wiki (IMHO we should set up a distinct key-page for "operator:type" with some suggested values). cbo for instance can mean anything from Central Boycott Office (a specialized agency of the Arab League based out of Damascus) to Congressional Budget Office, but here maybe the intended meaning is Community Based Organization. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
