Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - CoreIndoor

2017-02-20 Thread Simon Poole
Currently nothing breaks when SIT is used and additional ways are added
as a stop gap measure to enable "current" routing engines to work a bit
in such areas (just as it is common to do with pedestrian areas and so
on), and nobody has suggested that such mapping be outlawed (if that was
at all possible in an OSM context).

What however is being requested is that we add a parallel tagging scheme
to SIT based on using ways. That would seem to be turning the clock back
5 years. IndoorOSM, on which SIT is loosely based historically, used
areas for corridors and similar elements and had a working routing
engine that didn't require adding additional ways in 2012. It would seem
silly to spend effort to closely specify something that we want to move
away from.

See
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/Project_Ideas#Support_for_indoor_routing_.28SIT_schema.29
for something that would allow us to move forward, not backward.

Re: [Tagging] knotted willows

2017-02-20 Thread Jerry Clough - OSM
There are problems with this approach.
Many trees are pollarded once in their lifetimes: I'm currently looking out at 
some Beech trees which were probably pollarded 70 years ago, and there's a 
Birch which was pollarded rather crudely 50 years ago in the neighbours garden. 
Ancient pollards can be 500 years old. Re-pollarding a tree which has not been 
managed in this way for a long time is a rather hazardous operation for the 
tree.

Pollarding - Wikipedia
   |   |

If a macrophanerophyte is regularly pollarded then it's probably wrong to call 
it a tree. Most coppiced plants will only be allowed to grow to 5-8 m high and 
the individual stems will rarely be more than 10cm diameter. In Britain Hazel, 
Sallows, and Ash are certainly still coppiced. Oak has been coppiced in the 
past as a source of charcoal. However, like pollarded trees neglected coppice 
stools can grow into large multi-stemmed trees. A typical scenario is a wetland 
site where seedlings of any trees are cut close to ground-level ('coppiced') to 
maintain the wetland habitat: this is a relatively easy intervention and can be 
repeated. However, once tree cover can no longer be halted, or when the ground 
dries out, then the coppice stools will be left to grow of their own accord. In 
most former gravel pits in Britain there are numerous examples of 15m high 
mutli-stemmed Crack Willows which originated in this way.
In general I don't think coppicing is a useful thing to apply to an individual 
tree. Coppicing is more usually a woodland management technique and therefore 
belongs to natural=wood and landuse=forest. A typical woodland form in Britain 
is a wood which is coppice with standards. The understorey (most usually Hazel, 
but in Bradfield Woods it's Ash) is coppiced on a cycle which may be from 5-20 
years. Some trees are always retained and form the canopy. Historically the 
understorey produced firewood, and poles, the standard trees were felled for 
timber. 
For individual trees we might recognise the following properties:
   
   - The tree is a pollard (i.e., has been pollarded at least once fairly early 
in its life)
   - The tree is currently managed by repetitive pollarding
   - The tree is multi-stemmed as a result of growing from a coppice stool
   - The tree is multi-stemmed as a result of growing from the planting of 2 or 
more saplings in a bundle (bundle planting)

Tall Common Limes (Tilia x europea) are often managed by a pollarding-like 
process: side branches are removed, the crown is severely reduced, and the 
trunk is cut short at the top. I'm not sure if this qualifies as a pollard.
Additionally there are other styles of regular pruning. For instance fruit 
trees in the Swiss Mittelland are pruned in a way which is very recognisable, 
so that it is quite easy to identify former orchards where the pruning ceased 
decades ago. The tree is usually pruned to have a leader and four principle 
branches. I suspect this Wikipedia article describes the technique in depth. 
Oaks growing in Dehesa (Cork, Holm and Pyrenean) are pruned in a not dissimilar 
manner, perhaps with 3 main branches, but the centre of the crown is kept 
fairly open. You can see examples here. However I would not choose to add this 
information to OSM: it is safe to assume that trees in Spanish Dehesa and Swiss 
Orchards will generally be manage this way. Quite beside which there are 
something like 37 million oaks in the dehesas of Extremadura.

Considering that there are several management styles for individual trees, we 
could have something like
tree:managament=pollard
Other values might be none (allowed to grow free), copicce (pruned almost to 
the ground), espalier (pruned into a flat vertical surface), etc.
tree:management:operator=* could then be used to indicate who is keeping the 
tree pruned. 

Maybe tree:pruning_style would be more logical?

Re: [Tagging] Dead hedge

2017-02-20 Thread Jerry Clough - OSM
I've many such things: the material is called brash (sometimes brush) in the 
UK. It is often just collected in piles or in longer rows (typically at the 
edge of the area being worked on) and these are usually referred to as brash 
piles.
Brash is also used to deliberately fill gaps to discourage people (& their 
dogs) from accessing places.
Dead hedge is just not a term that I recognise: it certainly isn't standard 
British English in the conservation sector. Some hedgelaying techniques of 
interweaving can be used, but these are in the main to reduce the size & 
profile of the pile. When used as a barrier brash is usually used to plug small 
gaps rather than to create a continuous barrier. Note that sometimes brash is 
simply not cleared after chainsaw or brush-cutting and this may appear to a 
deliberate rather than a transient & accidental barrier.
I would therefore suggest barrier=brash_pile or brush_pile, and despite 
Wikipedia not dead hedge. Like every other native English speaker on this list 
dead hedge means a hedge where the plants have died.

Re: [Tagging] Dead hedge

2017-02-20 Thread Jerry Clough - OSM
Just re-read the section in the BCTV handbook and the form they describe under 
"dead hedging" is rather different from the straightforward brash pile. Both 
exist, although in my experience the latter is commoner, but I don't do 
conservation work in woodland suffering from too much grazing by deer.
Note also the use of cut thorny shrubs to create protective barriers in African 
villages.
Either way I would still strongly advise avoiding "dead hedge" as it is not a 
term which is likely to be widely understood, and will clearly be 
mis-understood  In construction these are closest to wattle fences, although 
the construction material which is interwoven  is wood brash rather than nice 
coppice poles.

They are "harbours"

I would have expected them in man_made but apparently they are "hidden" in
seamark subtags, a few hundred landuses (also: harbour) and under
"harbour=yes".

In the USA, those would commonly be referred to as a brush pile or brush 
row. They are commonly seen at the edge of a field that has recently been 
cleared of bushes and saplings. Sometimes they are left to decay in place, 
sometimes they are burned, and sometimes they are ground up by a 
wood-chipper and hauled away.

Re: [Tagging] landuse=industrial with industrial=port

2017-02-20 Thread Malcolm Herring
Ports and harbours are not the same thing. A harbour is merely a 
sheltered body of water protected by man made or natural structures. A 
port, on the other hand, is the whole infrastructure for handling ships 
& their cargoes. This may include any number of harbour areas, but also 
wharves, piers, docks, quays, warehouses, terminal buildings, admin & 
customs offices, etc.


So such areas would be better served with a 'port' tag of some kind.

I could rename it "Harbours and Ports" and add text to cover ports, but 
first I need some agreed tagging for ports. That was the question asked 
in the OP. Most of the instances of "landuse=harbour" are over areas 
that are in fact port facilities. Other port areas tend to be tagged 
"landuse=industrial".


Maybe someone can propose a port specific tagging?
