I've extracted the FCode table from the dataset for my area, and am mapping those to existing and proposed map features/tags as found on the wiki. We can add some selection criteria later. I can upload it to a wiki page when I'm finished. I think we need a new key, which will be of use in other scopes as well: "existence". In particular, for hydrographic features it could have the values "perennial", "intermittent", or "ephemeral". In other contexts, "seasonal", "event", etc. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
