Dear all, Openstreetmap-carto (the default rendering style on openstreetmap.org) will soon render objects tagged historic=monument with an icon.
There is currently a large number of objects incorrectly tagged as historic=monument. The definition of historic=monument according to the wiki: 'A memorial object, especially large (one can go inside, walk on or through it) and made of stone, built to remember, show respect to a person or group of people or to commemorate an event'. Note that this tag should not be used for national heritage buildings (called listed buildings in some countries). The word 'monument' does not have this meaning in English. Instead, historic=yes, the heritage key, or the listed_status key could be used for such buildings: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:listed_status http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/heritage It would be good to correct as many incorrectly tagged objects as possible before the tag is rendered. This map can be helpful for that: http://www.historic.place/themes/monuments/map.html See https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1532 for the discussion on Github. -- Matthijs _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
