That is a good point. For example, Australians may only want to focus on cemeteries with Anzacs The CWGC data set includes the number of graves for each nationality https://anzacathon.com/data-sources.shtml > 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? I wonder if these organizations also communicate with each other. There may be some opportunity to get further insights from them. They may also see some benefit in collaboration with OSM. > What about a cemetery with multiple organisations graves?

In many of the small ones, it is a single war grave in a regular cemetery and there is a plaque near the gate telling people about it. Here is an example: https://www.ww2cemeteries.com/allemont-le-rivier-communal-cemetery.html I went there on my bike and made an updated site, including links back to OSM: https://anzac.site/france/le-rivier-d-allemont/ Regards, Daniel _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
