"noname=yes" is used when a feature like a road doesn't have a name.
The tag :not:name=XXX" is used when mappers might think that the name is actually "XXX" but it's not. Usually the "name=" field is already set with the correct name: 96% of objects with "not:name" have a "name=*" - see https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/not%3Aname#combinations The tag "not:brand" or "not:brand:wikidata:" tags would be similar, they would be added so that mappers and database users do not accidentally think that the amenity=restaurant with name="Phở Hòa" is the same as other restaurants with brand=Phở Hòa I suppose the alternative is using a "note" or "description", but this tag would be more specific and easier for software to handle, like https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index - which helps link names with brands. - Joseph Eisenberg On 9/14/19, Francesco Ansanelli <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Joseph, > > I have to say that I'm not a fan of the tag, IMHO negation is something > that will make harder to do searches... > If the burger king is not the food chain keep the brand empty and write a > note or do a Wikipedia page about it, probably an historical activity > deserve it. > > About the no name, this already exists: > > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:noname > > Can you please point out why adopt the new syntax instead? > > Cheers, > Francesco > > Il sab 14 set 2019, 06:43 Joseph Eisenberg <[email protected]> ha > scritto: > >> There's a new-ish page about the prefix "not:" >> >> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:not: >> >> It's been used with "not:name" to show that a street isn't named >> something else (e.g. for streets that had the wrong name on official >> OS maps in Britain): https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:not:name >> >> Also it's been used with "not:addr:postcode" - >> https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/?key=not%3Aaddr%3Apostcode >> >> Recently there was a suggestion to use "not:brand" and >> "not:brand:wikidata" to show that a feature is not part of a chain. >> https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/6577 >> >> For example, this can be used to tag the "Burger King" fast food >> restaurant in Illinois that's older than the international brand with >> the same name.
