The idea of using indoor mapping is good, and it's probably the future to solve all the problems you mention. (we had a similar discussion last Friday on the Riot channel)
Some remarks: - does it make sense for a "room" to have an house number and a street ? I would expect those on the building, and floor or level or so on the room. - I'm not familiar enough with the simple indoor tagging, but I would expect that a restaurant exists of multiple rooms (dining, toilets, kitchen) not just one. - On the Riot channel the entrance to the restaurant was also seen as important. m On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 10:06 AM, Ubipo . <[email protected]> wrote: > Everyone, > > A long standing question for osm mapping in cities is wether to tag > amenities in multi-purpose buildings as: > - a separate node inside the building's way > - the building itself, using both building=house and amenity=* (only valid > with single-amenity buildings) > The node approach has consistency issues like these buildings: > https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/656793551 . > > The area approach is more consistent but doesn't really allow multi-purpose > buildings. > A third, lesser used method is to use part of the simple indoor tagging > schema.
