[Tagging] Best practices for creating a categorical key=value

I want to locate and identify the offices of different construction companies in my area. I found that office=construction_company would be a good start but I also want to identify the type of construction company, what it builds, its specialty. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any key that would

[Tagging] barrows and tumuli

The last couple of days, I've been looking at tumuli/ barrows on the map, because it turns out, it's the same. I have added that information to the wiki (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:archaeological_site%3Dtumulus). In Ireland and the UK, I've also tried to tidy up the tags, so there are

Hello. I suggest that you have a good look at the following pages: * https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Any_tags_you_like * https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Joto/How_to_invent_tags Going through a proposal process isn't always necessary; you can just document your tag and give it the stat

Re: [Tagging] Best practices for creating a categorical key=value

@Marc_marc You make a good point, but I see it more as a way of linking tags, as you suggested before. That said, I hadn't noticed that the tag office=construction_company is already documented and in use, so I guess that would be a good tag to use. * https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aoffi

Re: [Tagging] barrows and tumuli

Long barrows are not always archeological or even historic. Maybe they could be man_made=long_barrow. Phil (trigpoint) On 18 January 2023 15:48:42 GMT, Anne-Karoline Distel wrote: >The last couple of days, I've been looking at tumuli/ barrows on the >map, because it turns out, it's the same. I

Re: [Tagging] Best practices for creating a categorical key=value

Can you ring the doorbell and purchase or order something from that office? If yes, you could consider it to be a kind of shop. If it is only a reseller, consider: shop=trade + trade=building_supplies + sells=precast_concrete or even shop=doityourself. If it is manufacturing the said goods, consi

Re: [Tagging] barrows and tumuli

Well, yes, they're not historic; they're prehistoric. But we tend to map those features with the historic tag nonetheless. I don't understand why you say that they're not archaeological, when they're written about by archaeologists and part of archaeological surveys. https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

Re: [Tagging] Best practices for creating a categorical key=value

Thank you all, First, I used office=construction_company because it's the only related tag in the wiki (Key:office). Second, precast_concrete was just an example to illustrate the level of detail I want to provide. As I have dozens of different cases, I just want to create tags appropriately. I

Fair enough, that's not historical yet. I was referring to the other 171 already mapped (https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1qiS). Anne On 18/01/2023 18:40, Philip Barnes wrote: I am using local knowledge here, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soulton_Long_Barrow It has been featured on Country File s

Andy Townsend: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1qjp 1087 examples worldwide combined with "highway" tag where it can be assumed to be an access tag Some also have a motorhome tag. And some, I am skeptical about. E.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/981233122 First, the place is Wohnmobilste
