I have added various historic boundaries in Dublin region administrative, political and other over the past year or so. I will seek advise later as to whether these should be only in OSM or only in HISTOSM or in both.
Meanwhile I welcome corrections and suggestions to the tagging system that I have struggled with, please see examples below. First of all, as a benchmark some the preset tagging offered in the JOSM presets, (thank you Donal?) *City - LAU-1* admin_level=7 boundry=administrative name=... type=boundary *Townland* administrative_level=10 boundary=administrative locality=townland name=... place=locality type=boundary *Dail Constituency* boundary=political nmae=... political_division=parl_const type=boundary *Civil Parish* boundary=civil_parish name=... type=boundary ------------------------------------------------------- Brian's tagging as it evolved, needs correcting please *Dublin City 1849* (6099274) boundary=historic ??????? historic=yes name=..... type=boundary *Dublin Parliamentary 1947* (6544843) boundary=political historic=yes name=... political_division=historic_parl_const type=boundary *Please should I add source and date?* *North City Ward 1849* (5534597) boundary=administrative date=1849 historic=yes name=... political_division=city_ward type=boundary add source=... *Poor Law Union * (5844592) alt_name=Dublin South Superindent Registrars District alt_name_1=Dublin South Union boundary=poor_law_union name=Dublin South Poor Law Union source=GRO pamphlet 1885 HMSO (in NLI) type=boundary *I should add date as some altered afterwards* *Parliamentary: * (6201389) boundary=political end_date=1922 historic=yes name= Dublin Harbour Parliamentary Constituency 1885-1922 political_division=historic_parl_const start_date=1885 type+boundary *Police District* (6650495) boundary=police_district historic=yes name=Dublin Metropolitan Police District 1838 source=1838 1 Vic .... start_date=1838 type=boundary *I could add an end date when it was altered in area or name* *Suburban District of Dublin 1861 * (6340790) boundary=administrative historic=yes locality=suburban_district name= S................ place=locality source= appendix to 1861 census type=boundary *This area was to show new built up areas not otherwise shown.* *----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Your suggestions and corrections will be much appreciated as I had made these up as I went along during the last two years. I will then revisit them all so they are consistent. Many thanks. _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
