Software can be made to deal with any scheme as long as there is a consistent scheme. Matthias ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
[Tagging] communal learning spaces / training areas
In New York, we have a host of organizations that hold classes but are not schools of the kindergarten/primary/college framework. Some of these organizations are free or allow bartering in exchange for education. Most don't have full-time teachers. Unsurprisingly, a lot of these are nomadic, but some do have or are working on finding permanent spaces. Here are a few examples: http://brooklynbrainery.com/ http://thecommonsbrooklyn.org/ http://nyc.thepublicschool.org/ Similarly, I've been looking at features in Kibera, and there are places where people are trained in, say, healthcare, but in a less formal format than a school or college. For all of these spaces, the classes are short-term and informal. Part of me wants to tag them as informal training spaces (to avoid overloading amenity=school), but I'm not too keen on bloating amenity=*, either, by adding something like amenity=informal_training or amenity=informal_school. I've also considered amenity=community_centre (too generic), and amenity=social_facility (focuses on aid for the poor and drug-addicted, but might adapt to this). Does anyone have experience tagging such places? If not, any suggestions? eric ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

A logical method would be to make Key=education and then have variations documented there. Let's wait and see what other ideas are presented before formally suggesting such a concept. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Education is one area that is hugely different all around the world and we have to be careful in introducing a key education as everyone will rightfully claim that their system is better while everything is relative.
