Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Railway tracks on highway

Hello all! And sorry for the delay in my comments, I've been very busy with other work the past week. Firstly, I was rethinking about the introduction a general "=yes"-value for this tag. It might be that some lazy mappers would prefer this kind of general tag, but on the other hand the "embed

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Ephemeral a water property key.

New keys are much, much better than new values for tags well established as having boolean values. intermittent=yes/no values are easy to interpret and sufficient for many uses As someone involved a bit in using OSM data I am not against mapping extra detail but I am against forcing everybody to

[Tagging] Printing company for newspapers

Hi, I would like to tag a company where newspapers are being printed, but I feel that shop=copyshop doesn't fit well. My suggestion would be to go with craft=printer. Any opinions on that? Cheers, dktue ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetma

Re: [Tagging] Printing company for newspapers

Hello, I would abstain from shop=* as a shop is a place where products can be bought: "/Use shop=* to mark the location of a shop and the products that it *sells*./" [1]. I would also abstain from craft=* as it applies to "/small production of goods *on demand and by order*/"  [2] The places

[Tagging] Building names, historical/original owner?

I have a question about `name=` and variants of names. I've been reading a lot of local history and in the architecture/history world, houses are generally named for the first resident that they were built for. E.g. "Johnson house" and are referred to in this way even after many generations of new

Re: [Tagging] Printing company for newspapers

I wouldn't use shop=* or craft=* either. man_made=works seems to fit best, although i'm not very comfortable with using man_made ('man made (artificial) structures' [1]) for a business (which a factory is). As for the kind of factory, some people use works=* (867 uses so far) [1], which i think mak

I'd put it in OHM rather than OSM. OHM could develop tools that would allow scrolling through dates to 'see' things as they were. On 15/12/18 02:34, Adam Franco wrote: I have a question about `name=` and variants of names. I've been reading a lot of local history and in the architecture/history
