Good. I'm just a bit scared, because I don't really understand all
this Transmodel and Naptan stuff.
In that way, I like to think of myself as the "common mapper". ;-)
Its my job to write something that makes sense and can be understood
easily. I appreciate the concern when faced by such a large document,
but we only need a small bit of it and I do know my way around it.
I think you are saying that this is a 'tagging review' of OSM transit
tags and that we will use Transmodel for inspiration, rather than
saying we will use Transmodel for everything regardless.
Exactly.
Probably even more than just inspiration, but lets not redefine OSM
to exactly copy Transmodel.
The only issue I have with the current page is that it is has Stop
Area in the title for something that is not a stop area in
Transmodel.
If we get rid of that phrase from the title then I will be happy.
Can you please explain, what a stop area in Transmodel is?
I came up with the proposal before I knew anything about transmodel
(still don't really), so I think it is a good sign that there are so
many similarities.
A Stop area in Transmodel is defined as 'A group of STOP POINTs close
to each other'.
So shall we call the new page 'Transit tagging review' or something.
If the proposal is later adopted we will then rename it as 'Transit
tagging'. The page will describe briefly all the transit elements
that
we need in OSM (of which there are not actually a lot).
Sounds good to me.
Excellent. I will have a go at it. I will base it on the unified stop
area page, try to keep it clear and relevant whilst also using the
correct modelling and names from Transmodel. We will then tweek it to
make it work for OSM if we need to but lets start with the ideal and
see how we get on.
I am currently awaiting clarification of one point from NickK though
before I get going with it.
