I am not sure this should already go to voting, documentation is still
rather vague and it is somehow indicative that the status is still set
to draft. The rationale is quite detailed but actual tagging must
mostly be imagined. I would suggest to have this discussed for another
round and be more explicit about the proposed values.
The proposal is to map the actual location of the item. Does this
matter? And how difficult will it be for mappers to obtain that
information and other mappers to verify it?
To me it is not even completely clear whether this should be used as a
property or defines an explicit feature, although it seems more
thought as a property (but then there are the size considerations).
It would be simpler as a 'property of the hospital' similar to bed
count, height, name etc. As such it would not be mapped as a
node/way/relation but as a property of a hospital.
For example you mention “operating theatre” (we are using BE spelling
for tags), emergency_department and laboratory as possible values. To
me neither of these seems a good fit for an _equipment_ tag, and IMHO
for things like these we should choose a representation that allows
for easy addition of more detail if desired (e.g. operating theatre
capacity, location of emergency department and its access points,
details for capabilities of the lab, etc.)
Laboratory does not say what it is ... they can have different
capabilities. More though required?
Emergency department presence and entrances already have an existing
tagging scheme.
