Re: [Tagging] Taginfo for specific geographies

2013-11-26 Thread Erik Johansson
No, when I looked at the code last year there was no indication that you
could do that in any easy way.


The taginfo import is reported to take 10 minutes for Sweden so I guess if
the box isn't that big you can always try to extract it and import it to
your own taginfo db. Now when we have taginfo on osm.org maybe we can put
all of the local variants there.

You are "cheating" here, the voting period finished at 23 November, and by
the 14th of November all 18 no-votes had already been cast, leading with
this apparently clear rejection to desinterest by other potential
rejecters. You are now counting post-voting-votes on the yes side in order
to obfuscate the actual result. This proposal was rejected according to our
rules and I now set it to rejected in the wiki.

Why should we give up on tweaking a proposal where most of the no-votes
were about only one value of 15 proposed keys?

There are proposals which are rejected with no hope of recovery, but
this one is clearly not among them. 18 supporters is more than most
successful proposals get.

With some exceptions - an author trying to slightly modify their
proposal or handing it over to someone else for this purpose - new ideas
should go to a separate proposal. We had a ton of very different
proposals on lane tagging, for example, until one was found acceptable.

Just in case you did not get it the first time:

- - The 14th of November does not have any relevance here - there is no
counting of votes somewhere in the middle of voting.

- - Everyone has been free to vote, no matter the current vote count. If
someone does vote against the proposal, his vote cannot be counted.

- - At the end of the voting period there were 18 yes, 18 no and one
partial yes. If this in in any way a "clear" result, then it is a draw.

- - Comments indicate that the dominant reason for opposing was
deprecating highway=street_lamp, not the additional / new tags of the
proposal.

- - The positive votes, further comments and the fact that even after
the official voting period someone handed in another positive vote
indicate clear interest in this proposal, or at least into its
continuing development.

- - For the aforementioned reasons, this proposal is further being
worked on. I therefore set it to "proposed", and I did this for a reason.

- - I am not "obfuscating" anything, I am stating facts, and these can
be found in the wiki.

I hope this is finally clarified. Your opposing vote has been counted,
the reasons you have given were taken into account and have been
commented on. If you would like to further contribute, feel free to
reply to these comments, or make further suggestions, or feel free to
create your own proposal. I will continue working on this one, and
take into account any constructive criticism or other contributions,
including the received comments during voting, from anyone who is
interested in contributing.

On the "Proposed_features" main page. But don't read it as "hard-coded

that the wiki is the bible. But I also don't like people saying that
the vote process should be completely ignored. Take it as a good

A draw means "rejected" as it isn't a majority for "yes". A "partial yes"
like an "abstain" counts as vote that isn't "yes", so for practical reasons
you can count this like a "no". At least this is what the rules had been so
far.

To make it clear, I am not in general against tagging lights and lamps
(besides those that already get tagged), but I also do not think that all
kind of light emitting objects have necessarily to go under one and the
same tag. Generally substituting one tag by requiring two tags isn't
desirable (IMHO). The tag "highway=street_lamp" is widely used and there is
(IMHO) no reason to believe a street light/lamp isn't part of a highway.
You can see it as one or the other and apparently there are not so few
mappers who see it as a usable tag.

Given that there is already a tag for the (supposedly) most required thing
in this field to be tagged, why not invent a (or more) new tag(s) for what
remains and you want to tag? And when inventing a new tag, why not do it
"right" (i.e. with the correct terminology)? Just as there are different
words in German (Leuchte, Strahler, Scheinwerfer, Fluter as opposed to
"Lampe"), there are also in English. Why not e.g. use a tag "floodlights"
for certain typology of lights, or "lantern" for another? As an analogy, we
also do not use "highway=street", "street=primary" because the way stuff
went has brought us this distinction already in the "main tag", and someone
now trying to reinvent this wheel would most probably fail.

I agree strongly. In this case, with an almost perfectly inconclusive
result, I would say it is unfair to stamp the proposal as "rejected"
since there was not a majority no-vote; but equally wrong to stamp it
as "sort-of-accepted" (these are the two main positions in this thread
so far!). The message from the voters is clear: maybe, but not in this
exact form. Maybe the authors of the proposal will refine it to a
stronger proposal, or maybe they won't. But it seems to me that some
informal evolution is the next thing to consider, rather than repeated
rounds of hyper-formalised proposing and voting.

actually this is how things are (and were) done nonetheless. There are lots
of proposals that got rejected with zero no-votes, just because they hadn't
gotten enough yes votes. The rules state that you need an absolute majority
of "yes" for the approval. If a proposal gets rejected in a voting, this
doesn't mean you cannot repropose it (indeed this is what is done here for
the second time).

+1, usually if there are a lot of "no"-votes there is something wrong, even
if there is a majority of "yes"-votes.

A draw is a draw, it's not a majority for "no" either. You can count
an "abstain" whatever you want, it neither "yes" nor "no". Here we had
a "partial yes". And besides, as I explained before, I also took into
account the comments and reasons for opposing in the decision to keep
working on the proposal.

Yes, this is the main outcome of the voting, as I said. And this will
be taken into account in the further work on this proposal. The
discussions here and in the forum have shown that both opinions exist
- - regarding street lamps as part of the highway or not.

> Given that there is already a tag for the (supposedly) most
> required thing in this field to be tagged, why not invent a (or

Of course one can do this as well. My aim was to unify the tagging of
these objects, since they all generate light. This idea is not new -
think of public_transport=stop_position, for example. But of course
one can have different opinions, as always in OSM.

I was using the term that was attested to me by native speakers to be
most commonly used, and also understandable to others. Many people,
especially non-native speakers, might not even know the term "light
fitting", even though it's correct UK English.

> Why not e.g. use a tag "floodlights" for certain typology of
> lights, or "lantern" for another?

This is also possible, provided that one can easily distinguish these
topologies. As a remark, "lantern" was also on my list, but as I
figured out, it usually refers to portable light sources.

> As an analogy, we also do not use "highway=street",

Of course, highway=* is a key that already indicates some type of way
or related feature, so one can immediately specify the type of feature
in the value. "highway=street", "street=primary" would thus make no
sense. This is different for man_made=*, which does not give much
information on the type of object.

One could of course also think of not using man_made at all, and
introduce light=floodlights etc. as a new primary tag, in order to
group light sources with a more unified tagging. But honestly I have
no idea whether this would be better or worse.

a good example where it didn't work either: there are 1.2M of

there are also fixed lanterns, and there is even another use for it in

You could use man_made=pole / post / mast / tower /... for the
support/structure (if mapped on a node).

What would be other values for this new key?
Checked it, actually "light" is taken:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/light#values
but "light_type" seems available (zero usage as of taginfo). There is 337
of "security:light_type" which supports the idea that "light_type" is about
the type of lightning device
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/security%3Alight_type and also the
"lamp_type"s support this reading:
http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/lamp_type (they do not refer to the
fixture).

I'm really not sure what you don't understand about the word DRAW or
about the fact that the total number of positive votes exceeds the
total number of negative votes. But another fact is that your opinion
does not alter any of these facts.

I wouldn't call an approved proposal, which hat 200K applications so
far (the same order of magnitude as highway=street_lamp), "not working".

> there are also fixed lanterns, and there is even another use for it
> in architecture, probably you'll find it in this context as well

Yes, there are indeed, I do not doubt that. It was just a general
remark that this tag may also be misinterpreted (which probably
applies to many words, one needs to choose carefully in any case).

> You could use man_made=pole / post / mast / tower /... for the 
> support/structure (if mapped on a node).

Sounds reasonable to me, but also raises the question: If something is
tagged as man_made=pole + light=* or the like, and there are
additional tags, what do these tags apply to? This is the same problem
as with tagging tourism=hotel, amenity=restaurant, and then something
like wheelchair=yes all on one node - to which does the latter apply?
In this example one can usually separate the hotel and the restaurant,
but for a street lamp, one would probably want to attribute the pole
and the light source to the same node, as they belong to a common
structure.

> What would be other values for this new key?

I guess that would be things that I placed under "lamp:type" in my
proposal. For example, just some quick ideas:

- - "lantern" (which I actually like more than the lamp:type=street_lamp
in my proposal, since it takes the "street" out of this name, and
would be a lighting for maybe a railway, an area... or a street)
- - "signal_lamp" (yes, I checked the term - see wikipedia)
- - "warning" (a hazard warning lamp)
- - "aviation" (like those lights at an airport runway)

> Checked it, actually "light" is taken: 
> http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/light#values but "light_type"
> seems available (zero usage as of taginfo).

What about light_source? This is also not used so far, and it gives a
rather accurate description of the object being mapped. Something
ending in _type sounds more like a subclass to me (as we don't tag
highway_type=*, but highway=track, tracktype=*).

Hi,

Openstreetmap has been contributing to the Bitcoin revolution with this map:

http://coinmap.org/

the problem is that lots of online businesses want to get on the map, and I
don't know what tags to suggest. Should we invent something like
office=online? Then it could be further specified with online:shop=clothes,

yes. the concept of a geographic location is sometimes
challenging. when the business is running a web store
in the cloud and outsourcing the order fulfillment then
it's hard to say exactly where they are on the map.

The probably don't care where the pin is as long as it somehow
increases their search engine ranking ;)

Do we really want to delete this data? Is there any value to it?

What they usually show is the website headquarters. So maybe a good tag is
office=website_headquaters.

The video on there didn't mention adding a main tag at all when I 
watched it.




the problem is that lots of online businesses want to get on the map, 
and I don't know what tags to suggest.


Ignoring the online businesses, there are plenty of real-world 
businesses that have been added without real tags, and iD doesn't 
exactly make it obvious that it's useful for a shop to have a "shop" 
tag. The main discussion area seems to be here:
