Peter,
Yes, my first post. But just me as a map and outdoors enthusiast.
Not representing W3C.
No subtext to my post. Just asking for tag.
(Now landuse=conservation is in mapnik and osmarender, I am more
confident we are making progress on this, and will be able to motivate
people to maintain maps of conservation land.)
That said, I'm happy to separately talk mapping the OSM to the
semantic web, OSM and W3C in in a subject line.

I'd like to propose a tag for conservation land - land protected

There was no alternative for tis tag in the thousands of areas
which CRSchmidt
imported recently from the Mass GIS database of open space in
Massachusetts.
Details below and on the wiki at:

Tim, if this is your first post can I first say welcome from all of
us, if not then I should go an read you previous posts and give my
apologies for missing them so far. It is great to have input and
that that of W3. I know that you are personally keen on a free
geographic web to support a semantic web and that is of course what
OSM is busy collecting. If the subtext of your post is that W3 is
interested in OSM and the standards behind it then we are all ears.
Personally I think 2009 will be a breakthrough year for the project
and we are going to need all the help we can get to deal with the
expectations that will be raised.
Regards,
Peter Miller
