Am browsing the CWGC website as I write, looking at my locality.
Clearly landuse=cemetery is the principal tag for the typical CWGC
cemetery - dedicated to military with rows of the fallen.
There is a proposal for cemetary=sector which appears to have failed.
CWGC is showing in my locality > 20 locations where there are CWGC
casualties, most are in local cemeteries and graveyards. Quantity of
graves is from 1 upwards.
Nationality of the interred also may be important - there may be very
many commonwealth nationalities in one location.
If we generate a tag schema it clearly needs to be applicable to other
grave organisations - e.g. German War Graves Commission - /Volksbund
Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge/ in German.
Will we use abbreviation or the full name?
What about a cemetery with multiple organisations graves? (I've seen some)
URL's to the parent site - CWGC - there could be several in one cemetary.

Hello,
How is it suggested to tag "there are commonwealth war graves here"?
At least near me, there's usually a fairly large white on green sign
near the entrance, so even if it's not something you'd explicitly go
out to map, it's often something that you'd notice.
Best Regards,
Andy

Thanks for finding that so quickly
Daniel, what is actually being proposed to be added to OSM? Is it a
list
of CWG cemeteries that could then be checked against the data we
have in
OSM? I remember seeing a maproulette for cemeteries in Texas, perhaps
something similar could be done to find missing CWG cemeteries.
Please see the CWGC and TracesOfWar lists on this page:
https://anzacathon.com/data-sources.shtml
They simply have the name of the cemetery or monument, the latitude and
the longitude
CWGC has 20,000 records, TracesOfWar has 120,000 records
AWM also has about 14,000 records for places but they are not in the
IPFS world yet.
Regards,
Daniel
