I think doing this via MapRoulette challanges is a good way to go, and I like that this can then be split up so only people with local knowledge are editing as opposed to doing it without local knowledge.
I think care should be taken to not blindly "upgrade" all the tags, there could be subtleties particularly around cuisine tags, or name tags that should be carefully considered. Even then some stores with the same brand might have a different shop tag for different outlets. For example my personal preference is to tag the name: brand + branch eg. so Westfield Chatswood is tagged name=Westfield Chatswood brand=Westfield branch=Chatswood brand:wikidata= -> wikidata for Westfield brand wikidata= -> wikidata for Westfield Chatswood Same applies to bank branches, car shops etc. On Thu, 6 Jun 2019 at 13:30, Daniel O'Connor <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey folks, > Since ID now includes some handy presets and some recommendations to > "upgrade tags", I thought I'd trial out a challenge to find all Woolworths > supermarkets without wikidata. > > https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/8118 > > 1) Is this kind of challenge and the resulting armchair mapping of > interest? > 2) If so, what Australian retail brand(s) would you include (banks, > supermarkets, fast food, etc) in later challenges? > 3) Are there any big negatives to this people can think of? > > The main motivation I have is for when mid to large sized chains go out of > business, get bought or renamed - a single Brand key makes it a lot easier > to find things for later survey/cleanup/etc. > _______________________________________________ > Talk-au mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au >
