Greetings, I'd like to draw your attention to the following proposal:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Bridge_types In short, it's a scheme for marking up bridges (using key:bridge and key:bridge_type) that's largely based on existing values from Taginfo and fairly comprehensive. Outside of OSM, there's quite a bit of interest in bridges, by hobbyists (e.g., bridgehunter.com) and as objects of tourism or aesthetic interest (particularly covered and suspension bridges). It makes sense that OSM should support more detail for bridges, in general, than just whether or not they exist. The Humanitarian Data Model includes tagging with a third key, BaseMaterial, to indicate whether the bridge is made of wood, stone, iron, etc., but I would prefer to raise that as a separate proposal to keep the scope of this one manageable. Please leave comments, as I believe properly documenting these values would increase their use by taggers and make rendering support more likely. Yours, -- Chris Hoess _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
