I didn't reply because your original email didn't ask a clear question. Are you proposing something in particular? I'll try to comment nonetheless: >> at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Locality: I would delete the first sentence: "All current place tags are for either populated areas, or for larger areas of County sized or bigger." >> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place : Seems consistent. >> http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Places Seems consistent. >> place=isolated_dwelling: >> at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Places >> - missing So? >> place=farm >> >> at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place: >> - "A distinct identified farm at the node so tagged.

Ah okay. If it is >> isolated, use "isolated_dwelling". And if it is part of an hamlet, village, >> town, why the hell are you using a key place to name the landuse=farmland ? >> why not simply the tag "name=*" ? If it is a manufactory, not a farm, do you >> tag it landuse=industrial + place=manufactory ? I don't understand. It's >> probably too simple. I suspect place=farm is used because people want to be able to tag a farm as a *feature*, not just as the use of an area of land. I agree that place=* is probably inappropriate for this. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
