Martin, so what is the definition of building in OSM ? "The building key is used to mark areas as a building." from the wiki page is pretty useless as definition. Neither the Building, nor the Buildings page teach me what is considered a building and what not.
The building page just has a "number of examples", but it does not make clear how I can decide whether a digester is a building or not. It is also not clear to me why a water mill or wind mill are man_made and not a building. So what is the definition of building you are referring to ? Do you digester is a building ? regards m On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 9:29 PM, Martin Koppenhoefer <[email protected]> wrote: > > 2016-05-19 20:50 GMT+02:00 Marc Gemis <[email protected]>: >> >> On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 5:10 PM, Marc Zoutendijk <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > That's because everything that is a building should be tagged as a >> > building” >> >> so I looked at the wikipedia definition of building [1], and their >> definition of non-buildings [2] >> At this moment I think that digester/bioreactor belongs to the non- >> building structures, as they list "Structures designed to support, >> contain or convey liquid or gaseous matter, " > > > > actually, in osm there is some tradition in tagging non-building structures > as buildings, indeed, there is no "non-building structure" key in OSM > (man_made is far more generic and not referring to structures only).
