If it is one building, you should have one object for the building, including the housenumber (in case the housenumber is valid only for the building --- if there is some outside space or anxilliary building with the same housenumber a bigger polygon for the address would be better IMHO). You could then have different landuses inside this bigger polygon, or you could say that the polygon used for the commercial part is sufficient (e.g. tagged as shop=*, craft=*, office=*, amenity=*, tourism=* or any other tag that indicates a commercial usage). > 2) The ground floor is commercial but the residential part is in the > floors above. The housenumber is the same. Do I mark the building with > commercial;residential and leave it at that? what do you intend with "mark the building"? Are you talking about "landuse" or "building" typology? If it is the latter I'd say that neither "residential" nor "commercial" are building types with a desirably level of detail (e.g. a residential building could be an apartment block, an apartment tower, a detached house, a terraced house, ... a commercial building could be a supermarket, a high rise building, a hotel, an office building, a shed, ...) cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
