[Tagging] change recommendation from "depth" to "length" for the adit length?

According to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dadit the tag "depth" should be used for the length of an adit (horizontal mine entrance). According to wiki discussion, people seem to agree that "length" is a better tag for this, as "depth" is used to indicate how deep (vertically) s

Re: [Tagging] change recommendation from "depth" to "length" for the adit length?

Sounds reasonable to me. If it's horizontal or near-horizontal, depth makes no sense. -- Michal Fabík On Thu, May 11, 2017 at 10:22 AM, Martin Koppenhoefer < dieterdre...@gmail.com> wrote: > According to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dadit the > tag "depth" should be used fo

Re: [Tagging] change recommendation from "depth" to "length" for the adit length?

In UK English (not sure about other dialects!) "depth" is often used in a horizontal sense. The depth of a cupboard or a shelf for example, or the depth of a hole you have drilled. The depth of an adit would make perfect sense to me - indicating how far it penetrates into the substrate. If it is st

HI Phil, hi Colin, in the case of 4a/4b etc I would put in different stop points. If 4a always serves one route, then 4a would be added to the route relation. Maybe if 4a / 5a / 6a can all serve the same route, then I don't know what the solution is Maybe you just add a new stop point somewher

Hi Tijmen, many thanks. Yes, I understand the wiki that way too, i.e. suggest one stop_area for the station and associated infrastructure. Follow up question: In the relation you have .../stop/platform/stop/platform/stop/platform/... - would you agree with the convention that the stop comes firs

deep, adj.: 1. a. Having great or considerable extension downward. b. Having great or considerable extension inward from the surface or exterior, or backward from the front. (Oxford English Dictionary) Both senses are dated from the Anglo-Saxon period. Steve On 11/05/2017 09:54, Michal Fabí
