Re: [Tagging] Tagging for a pack station?

Hi, Interesting. Sounds like the equivalent of a hostel or mountain hut used by hikers or skiers but for equistrians. I don't know much about horses or the facilities for them. I know there are several buildings at the place I want to map one of which has been called a bunk house and another t

[Tagging] Tagging for a pack station?

(response to message archived at http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2013-August/014639.html ) I took a look around and likely the closest match, albeit still a far one, would be "Trail riding station" which is listed among features on the page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ri

Re: [Tagging] Ace Hardware

It's also nice to keep things a bit simple in OSM, because all records in the database need correct input and maintenance. I'm already seeing a lot of confusion on petrol stations. Where I just want to find the nearest fuel station (yes, I would like to have 99% coverage of amenity=fuel in OSM worl

While ACE is indeed a "franchise" since they file an annual FDD with the FTC how about something weaker than "franchise"? operator = North East McD Operating Company affiliation = McDonalds Corporation operator = Joe Smith, Proprietor. affiliation = ACE Hardware Corporation affiliation_2 =

Re: [Tagging] Ace Hardware

+1 for "franchise="; that covers all types of franchises, and keeps clear of "operator=". __John ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

Re: [Tagging] Ace Hardware

Yeah, I think I like franchise too. cooperative is not really import from the consumer's standpoint. operator is good but separate, and yes there is overlap, just like there is with brand. Perhaps someone who likes to write will write this up as a proposal? - Serge _

Re: [Tagging] Ace Hardware

The difference between Ace Hardware and a company like McDonalds is that in McDonalds, you will have very strong branding associated with the franchise. A consumer goes into a store labeled "McDonalds". But an Ace Hardware store is a complex beast, because the branding is all over the place, from
