As you can see from my voting comment, I have other objections as
well: gallery has a lot of different meanings, in architecture alone
there is 4 and more, in mining, etc.

Your own page has the prefixed "art_gallery" in the title for
disambiguity reasons, but the proposed tag is "gallery". The context
given by "tourism" doesn't help either.

no, not at all. We don't "have" to decide on an inadequate tag just
because there "is" not already a suitable on. I'd rather disencourage
to do so. If you changed tourism=gallery to culture=art_gallery there
will indeed be "culture" as main key.

In general I like this proposal, but given that this changes a substantial
number of very well used tags that go back to almost the beginning of the
project it is essential to describe how existing data will be migrated
across, tools updated, mappers notified, etc.

The other job, similar to the shop key, will be to elaborate a longer list
of values and to clearly disambiguate between them. For example, how does
one draw the line between art_gallery / museum, between nightclub /
music_venue, between historical monuments/memorials and art_works, etc.

I think the current definition of tourism is not too bad: "Places and
things of specific interest to tourists: places to see, places to
stay, things and places providing support."

I'd adjust the definition to reality: "Places and things provided
mainly or exclusively for tourists and visitors".

Places to stay have never been part of "tourism" in OSM, "things of
specific interest" might be OK, but might be of "specific interests to
locals" as well. "places to see" is also not the point of a definition
IMHO. It is OK for tourism=attraction (which itself might merit a
subtag  to get a finer graduation of hierarchy, say 3 levels) to flag
otherwise already described elements. E.g. a fountain, a church, an
opera, a museum, a lake, a waterfall, a statue, a square, ... But
besides an "interesting for tourists"-flag I don't see a point in
putting any of these in tourism.

I don't think "culture" has to be reduced according to an expected or
supposed audience. It would not really help IMHO. I'm fine with your
tourism-definition.

IMHO we could simply start using it. Tools will get amended
"automatically", as soon as a substancial number of items is tagged
with it. If there is a general agreement we could also use a bot to
add the tag to existing items. As soon as all (or most) "major"
applications have added the tag we could mark deprecated the old tags
in the wiki and discourage usage. This has been done for e.g.
highway=gate

Yes, I committed a mistake here, was in a hurry, it better should be
museum:genre=art_gallery actually.  This is the way it is done in
theatre and it works well.

there doesn't have to be any distinction: if it is a memorial, tag it
historic=memorial, if it qualifies at the same time for artwork, tag
it with culture=artwork as well.

It is true that they are at least partly a subgroup of amenity, which
is by general judgement quite overcrowded at the moment. A subgroup
that incorporates objects that share a certain aspect and can
therefore be moved to this key (as amenity doesn't really tell you
something more then "POI" currently).

yes, and both is not suitable to give a good description, as "leisure"
and "tourism" both mean almost nothing: leisure is everything you do
when you are not payed, tourists do all kind of stuff according to
their personal inclination. It could also be "tourism=beach" which
most Germans would maybe find OK, while if you live somewhere with a
beach you would say that the beach is "yours" (as well).

this sounds reasonable. I wanted for a long time to have culture, but
my last attempts couldn't find support some time ago...


> Limit tourism to signposts, information bureaus and alike.


+1. Not sure for tourism=viewpoint. Is OK IMHO, but could also become
a key (viewpoint=yes/)


> Deciding between culture and leisure is a lot easier then ...


IMHO leisure is not a very good key either and the definition is too
inclusive ("is a Key for all the places where people go for
recreation/leisure."), because some people go to the library, others
to the beach, others in the mountains, some like to read, some go
cycling, some go mapping, ... I'd say the key (definition) is weak
because you can put almost everything into it by this definition. But
in reality it almost works, there is few stuff that doesn't belong to
a similar group of items:

Currently leisure lists the following main tags:

dog_park
sports_centre
golf_course
stadium
track
pitch
water_park
marina
slipway (is clearly a technical facility for boats and has nothing to
do with "leisure" IMHO).
fishing
nature_reserve
park
playground
garden
common
ice_rink
miniature_golf
dance
swimming_pool


So I don't want to touch leisure at the moment, though I see it less
general then "all you can do or need in your spare time" and more
focussed on sports and "official leisure activities" like fishing and
going to the park. I would not object on putting garden and park in
landuse though.

As somebody who makes substantial use of the data, I would really prefer to
see a proactive effort to update existing nodes/ways. OSM data becomes quite
useless when you get tagging this mixed. Since this wouldn't be a
destructive edit - you just, for example, add culture=museum to a feature
already tagged with tourism=museum - I don't have a problem with a bot or
efforts to mass-update certain cities. I'd certainly do the whole of London
in the absence of a bot.

That is true, we will also need to describe for the avoidance of doubt when
it is appropriate to mark a memorial as an art work and vice versa.

don't know. It seems that the british art world is not very active on
wikipedia then, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_gallery redirects to
art_museum ;-)

The museum article gives this definition that fits well with my own
one: "A museum is a building or institution that houses and cares for
a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic,
or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing
through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary."

As you can see, "artistic" is included.

no, we will not have to IMHO, and we cannot. This has to be done on a

way. I don't see this as a problem actually. The more details you add

someone tried to change the meaning of culture=arts_centre by amending
the text to a meaning different of the one of amenity=arts_centre and
added also a new tag culture=community_arts_centre (without specifying
what this should be, but I guess it is our "good old" arts_centre).

Please do not do this in this proposal for a new culture key! Changing
the meaning of well established tags should go to another proposal.
This proposal is mainly about introducing a new key, and not about
redefining of already in use values.

I removed culture=community_arts_centre as I don't see the point in
it. We already have community centre and arts centre. If you want to
introduce new values, please elaborate on a definition and probably
make a different proposal for this change.

Ah, Wikipedia, that well known internationally agreed source of definitions
for words ;-) I forgot that we need to slavishly follow anything we spot in
Wikipedia or that other well-worn blind alley one's online dictionary of
choice.

As I wrote on the wiki, we have separate amenity values for bar, pub and
nightclub instead of amenity=drinking_establishment; we have shop values for
butcher, baker and grocer instead of a generic shop=food followed by a
sub-tag to define the type of food. There is no rule that says, because art
galleries are often considered a sort of museum, we must relegate "art
gallery" to a sub-type of culture=museum.

There is no problem with culture=museum, and since a great many art
galleries don't describe themselves as museums it would be worse to make
everyone use culture=museum plus some sub-tags.

Well pubs and bars do probably belong in amenity. Nightclubs are
comparatively unimportant places where we go to dance and listen to music,
which fits my definition of culture!

I don't have a problem with permanent art exhibitions being labelled as
a type of museum. Indeed many museums concentrate on cultural
artifacts. I'm thinking of one in Athens full of cultural artifacts
from the height of the Athenian city state. We call it a museum, but it
is an art gallery devoted to a particular time period, so the logic of
the two terms overlaps considerably.

an art gallery in English does not clearly distinguish between the

Search in what context?  How does arbitrarily partitioning into
overlapping categories make searching any easier?

One of the best things I ever did to facilitate searching my general
reference file drawers was to get rid of the multitude of arbitrary
overlapping categories.  Categories are great if you're dealing with a
system which allows some sort of symbolic linking, but when it comes
to storage of things which can only be at one location at a time,
categories don't work unless they consist of very carefully designed
partitions.  The great thing with storing things without categories is
you can always create an index outside of the actual storage location,
and that index can have *overlapping* categories in it.

Is is really obvious to everyone but me which of (archaeological_site,
art_gallery, artwork, bar, bookstore, cafe, cinema, dance, garden,
library, memorial, monument, museum, park, pub, sports_centre,
stadium, theatre, theme_park, and zoo) are supposed to be "culture"
and which are supposed to be some other key?

[Tagging] GeoNames to Garmin Custom Map to Geonames conversion

2010-11-07 Thread Sam Vekemans
Hi Marcel & Geonames group, and others,

I have now completed the analysis of the Geonames and Garmin Map
Features conversion.

I narrowed the list down to 1,024 features

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Am70fsptsPF2dDZJYUtjMVF4Mk1Yc3B6c0ktVlRiNEE&hl=en

The 1st 5 columns, A-E are of use to Marcel to be able to update the
geonames2mp conversion script to make the Garmin maps from it.

I then went through the list of Garmin Features and matched it back up
with the geonames list.

For this version, i set it to read-only, as i am now working on the
chart in more detail, by adding in the Natural Resources Canada -
CanVec Map Features, and purging the catelogue into this list.   The
result being, a more complete comprehensive list of the map features,
with even better descriptions :)

If anyone finds any errors, please let me know, so then i can fix it
as i am working on it.

My aim is to get this next part done in the next week, so i will
update the chart with the addition of the Natural Resources Canada
features.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sam

Independeltly of if they are culture or not, should only one of these two be 
used. We do not need two tags for exactly the same thing, do we?

Re: [Tagging] I started a draft on a new "main" key culture

2010-11-07 Thread Noel David Torres Taño
I think we can simply say that "culture=museum" is for "every building or 
intitution that names itself as", and let it have other key, subordinated, 
like museum=art, museum=history, museum=technology, museum=anthropology, 
museum=natural_history, museum=science. Thse cover almost all possible museum 
uses, since the Honey House Museum we have at Tenerife will be 
museum=anthropology, since it describes how thing were done by our ancestors 
and are done today, and the (not yet build) Carnival Museum will be museum=art 
and museum=history at the same time, since it will show art pieces (the 
Carnival Queen dresses) and some historic pieces from the ongoing of those 
acts. Similarly, most military museums would be =history (mostly with 
=technology and or =anthropology) and can be additionally tagged with 
military=yes (as they probably actually are).

no, it's not apparent.
but the amenity space is still overcrowded and difficult to search

perhaps a job for the wiki-fiddlers institute
recategorise on the wiki only
so that whether it's a shop, an amenity, a landuse
a 'something' can appear in more than one list

lists of things in buildings 
lists of things in towns
lists of historic things
