http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/car don't know if there are other pages (no time at the moment for wiki searches). As said above: maybe not a big issue. I can think of a problem though: Imagine a car-dealer trust, that sells cars under the brand of "Shinecars" but actually their business modell is a franchise, ie. the single car dealer (operator) is independent. They only sell Mercedes of course. Now, which brand-tag would this be? This might be easily solved with car:brand=Mercedes Benz. BUT: How many brand=<car brand> are already in the db? We should re-tag them and change the proposal from 2007 if (almost) all agree, IMHO. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
