In Austria and the adjacent Bavarian Alps of Germany exist a rather elaborated hierarchical index of caves (Österreichisches Höhlen Verzeichnis (ÖHV) = Austrian Cave Index) - http://hoehle.org/downloads/SD_10_Handbuch.pdf. The register is based on four main hydrographic units with three level subdivisions, based mainly on river basins and mountain regions. See the english abstract that follows the table of contents. It should be discussed in advance, if the national speleo associations will permit using data from the cave indexes or even if they have an interest in sharing specific information with OSM. geow _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
