I have updated both the proposal page and the discussion page (with e-mailed comments) of
Proposed features/Consulate https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Consulate Please do continue to comment and to offer suggestions, and to pose questions. I am incorporating suggestions and one counterproposal into the wiki page and look forward to reactions to them. Many thanks to the fellow mappers who have responded to this RFC! Proposal It is proposed to establish formally the amenity <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity>=consulate <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:amenity%3Dconsulate&action=edit&redlink=1> tag, which is already in use sporadically, in order to differentiate consulates from embassies. *Suggestions from Commenters* * To include an additional tag (e.g., service <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:service>=*) indicating types of consular services (citizen services, non-immigrant visas, immigrant visas, notarials, apostiles) offered. This tag could also be used for embassies offering consular services. * To specify in such a tag types of services, e.g., service:apostiles=yes· service:immigrant_visas=yes· service:non-immigrant_visas=yes service:notarials=yes This approach could be applied to avoid multiple values for the same key, and are required because keys must be unique in OSM. * To use the tag diplomatic <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:diplomatic>=* to specify the type of consulate (consulate general, consulate, consular agency, honorary consul). *Counterproposal* Another user has counter-proposed (see the discussion page <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Consulate>): I would opt for; depreciating amenity=embassy as they are used for embassies, consulates etc so you don't know what they are (unless it has a detailed sub tag) introducing amenity=diplomatic and use the sub tag diplomatic=* to detail what it is - embassy/consulate/* * *
