Re: [Tagging] craft=builder definition?

It’s interesting that wherever you go, the “builder” people all seem to have their own culture and identity - and uniform. The "construction workers" in america that frame houses all seem to be part of of a big club, and the specialty wooden house people here in Japan - daiku-san (大工さん) , with t

Razed would be much better for this kind of object (though I am not a big fan fan of razed, sooner or later completely mundane things without any kind of recognition are tagged this way). But at least it is not misrepresenting things. 2014-12-16 22:20 GMT+01:00 Zecke : > > > "interesting to map

Re: [Tagging] Moveable objects tagged as building=*

Another common use for such temporary buildings is as the office at a major construction site. They may sit in one place until the construction project is completed, or may be relocated for different phases of the project. Once the project is completed, the construction office trailers are remov

Semi temporary buildings are usually called portables. Schools I have been to in the US will have them in place for several years, though they lack a foundation and can be moved away whole or in sections as a truck trailer - similar to a mobile home. Although the method is not similar, the offic

Re: [Tagging] Moveable objects tagged as building=*

So we are talking about objects which are movable but nearly do not move and are used similar to buildings. Instead of using key building we could use man_made or even some new one. For the fact that these objects are movable we need an additional key with perhaps some values. To distinguish bet

Re: [Tagging] [tagging] Amenity=Ufficio_Pubblico

The issue is that in Italy a government office, for example, corresponds to the prefecture. An office, such as that of the Informagiovani, is very different because it operates at a local level and it is a specific office for young people. Simone 2014-12-16 3:35 GMT+01:00 johnw : > > working on a
