However, "associatedStreet" is maybe not the most obvious choice for joining, say, the segments of a motorway; at least I thought, "associatedStreet" would be used for associating single ways (street segments) with waypoints (symbolising addresses along the street segment) only. In addition (being, however, no native speaker of English), using "associatedStreet" for a collection of ways sounds strange to me.
... and then there is also the tag "relatedStreet" -- what's that? :-) On Wed, 2010-08-18 at 14:10 +0200, Pieren wrote: > On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 1:37 PM, Ed Loach <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > and both relations area apparently ±equally used. > > > > True, it's not two but three relations proposals for the same purpose: > "collection", "street" and "associatedStreet" > > Although"collection" is not limited to streets, it's also proposing > street addresses members... > > > Since "associatedStreet" was historicaly the first proposal including > house numbers and is the most popular according to Tagwatch, I would > suggest to deprecate the "street" proposal and remove streets from the > "collection" proposal. > > Pieren > _______________________________________________ > talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- Ulf Mehlig <[email protected]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
