The question is what to use for landuse= Currently there SHOULD be a landuse/natural tag for each area on a map as using amenity= creates another level of complexity. One may still has to decide what to use for landuse if the tag itself is missing. I still think 'landuse=natural' with a sub tag of natural= is the correct framework ... In the UK hotels are a retail activity although a specific classification of retail, but the landuse=retail fits the current tag structure but the BLPU classifications are a little more practical than that. This would give landuse=residential and landuse=commercial with secondary tags taken from amenity= but logically a residential=xx or commercial=xx is a lot more practical. Appendix A of http://www.nlpg.org.uk/documents/DTF7.3v1.pdf has the details, or http://enquirysolve.co.uk/nlpg/list_county.php?list=blpu_class has a sortable list. All land in the UK is already classified under this scheme and from what I've seen, something similar is evolving in Europe? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
