Yes, it's the kind of issue that makes me wonder whether osm is overkill for this. My first library has 3 floors (the next has mezzanines too..). I started a wiki page to think about this kind of thing. It's at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenLibraryMap Any comments welcome - I don't know enough yet to know if this is going to be remotely practical. There's another related wiki page live at: http://www.mashedlibrary.com/wiki/index.php?title=Mapping_the_library Cheers Graham _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
