Hello Warin, I think that extending the defined values for intermittent=* could yield the same result and convey the very same information *without adding a new tag* (/don't we have enough?/)
Assuming (/and this is just an assumption at this time.../) that we are able to define a correct and agreed cutoff value for the frequency of an event for it to be defined /ephemeral /vs. /intermittent/, then we could simply add the following keys for intermittent=*: * ephemeral_spring * ephemeral_summer * ephemeral_autumn * ephemeral_winter * ephemeral_dry_season * ephemeral_wet_season ... and be happy with that! :-) Cheers, Sergio On 2018-12-13 00:14, Warin wrote: > Hi > > I have reworked the ephemeral proposal. > > This now demonstrates; > > the difference between intermittent and seasonal - some want to combine them > into one and see the ephemeral key as just another intermittent/seasonal > thing so they vote no. > > that ephemeral applies to more that just streams - some want it as a sub key > to streams .. that is not possible if it applies to other things, these > people too vote no. > > > It now draws on the seasonal page to demonstrate the use of the seasonal > values. > > > I see this key being used by the experienced local who can draw on local > knowledge. > > The arm chair satellite mapper will have to stick with intermittent as they > will not be able to determine if seasonal nor ephemeral apply, they may not > even be able to determine intermittent. > > > I hope this proposal page is now somewhat clearer? > > > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ephemeral > > > --------------------------- > > I may do a dairy entry on seasonal, intermittent and ephemeral.
