This thread is a great help to me, as I recently discovered this bridge and wondered if it can be tagged in a more appropriate way: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/51.18387/8.95239
Currently it is tagged like that (shortened): historic=bridge intermittent=yes layer=-1 man_made=bridge name=Aseler Brücke seasonal=yes tourism=attraction With these tags and the surrounding footways the bridge is treatey as normal (foot)way by OSRM and graphhopper, altough it only falls dry roughly every other autumn. Is this a tagging issue that may be resolved with correct/additional tags? After reading the discussion I think at least three tags should be added: building=bridge abandoned=yes location=underwater Then some questions on other tags currently in use: • historic=bridge seems ok to me, but I'm not sure if it is a conflict with building=bridge. Do I have to choose either one? • intermittent seems to only be in use with water bodies, as far as i can tell after reading the wiki article. • seasonal is somewhat related with intermittent but in use for other things as well. Should I remove these two, nonetheless? Regards Cornelis Am 06.06.20 um 12:47 schrieb Paul Allen:

Although they generally remain underwater, but in times of drought, when the reservoir level drops low enough, they can be visited on foot. Like this [1] On first time, the combination historic=ruins + building=yes (or whatever corresponds) identifies that it’s a historical feature, The wiki page on historic features says that historic=* is to identify features of historic interest. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Historic The key historic=* is not a synonym for old=*. Admittedly, the page also says it is somewhat subjective as to what is of historic interest, but it gives several criteria which I do not think are satisfied here. Nor is historic=ruins really appropriate. Some of the buildings may be intact. And they're not really of historic interest. The ruins of St Dogmaels Abbey qualify as historic=ruins. See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:St_Dogmaels_Abbey_-_geograph.org.uk_-_309701.jpg A better way of handling non-historic ruins, is to use ruins=yes or namespace the key, such as ruins:building=house. There has been much debate on this list as to which of those two is correct and if one is preferred over the other in certain circumstances. All I'll point out is that with some renderers ruins:building=house does not render but with ruins=yes it does. If the building is not in ruins but has been abandoned (by virtue of being underwater most of the time, then abandoned:building=house or abandoned=yes. it’s in ruins and/or it isn’t habitable. But how to indicate that it’s underwater partially or totally and its access is occasionally possible, when the water drops? location=underwater accounts for normal state. You could possibly use a conditional to indicate occasional visibility but it's probably not worth it. Especially as most of the rare times it's uncovered it will only be partially uncovered to a greater or lesser extent. A note or description on the body of water is probably the way to handle it: "During times of low water some buildings may be visible." I find these tags, but none convinces me: Historic=wreck [2] -> only for nautical elements Specifically for vessels. "Wreck" as in "shipwreck." Location=underwater [3] -> it seems that it’s appropriate but the description tells “installed between a water surface and the floor beneath”, it isn’t the case… But see also https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:location which does not say "installed." I suspect that "installed" was used in the page you found because it was written by somebody who does not have English as a first language or was written by somebody who was only thinking of man-made POIs. Or maybe it was written by somebody who didn't like using the word "located" because it seemed a little repetitious so went with "installed." So building=whatever + ruins=yes + location=underwater or ruins:building=whatever + location=underwater. -- Paul _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
