[Tagging] How to tag a public works facility ?

It's a small area with several buildings where the municipality is storing vehicles and the maintenance and repair services. Someone suggests to use "amenity=public_building" but it's deprecated now in the wiki... "building=public" doesn't fit well here because it's an area and is not open to the p

Re: [Tagging] How to tag a public works facility ?

It appears you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. According to the Wiki you can not use amenity=public_building (although I do not understand why its use is deprecated) and must use building=public. I can see why you object to this but such buildings are, in one sense, public in that they ar

Re: [Tagging] How to tag a public works facility ?

For what it is worth, in the area I live in such facilities seem to be called "corporate yards". Since "industrial=depot" seems to have only one use at present and does not fit exactly. At least it does not fit in my mind. Perhaps it could be tagged as "landuse=industrial, industrial=corporate_

Any reasons not to use landuse=depot? Besides the sparsity of its wiki page... http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:landuse%3Ddepot 428 instances in taginfo 2014-02-19 16:27 GMT+00:00 Tod Fitch : > For what it is worth, in the area I live in such facilities seem to be called > "corporate yards

[Tagging] How to tag an online store?

I walked past a storefront used by an online store on a street where I was trying to tag all addresses and businesses, and it wasn't clear to me the right way to tag this store. I could have used shop=herbalist (and actually did, for now), but that seems to suggest that it's a shop that you can wa

Re: [Tagging] How to tag an online store?

you could use office=e-commerce or something like that: At that geolocation it's an office, but it operates in the e-commerce section, so it's probably an online shop. Not sure if that's the best value, but that's what values are for, right? regards Peter Am 19.02.2014 18:22, schrieb L. David B

Re: [Tagging] How to tag an online store?

office plus website= seems to pretty much do it. Using the shop tag creates too much risk that it will be treated as a place one can visit. (e.g. if https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/116 is ever implemented, it would show up). __
