Yes, consistency was in the past ;-) Yes, I wanted this info for the craft section I think this way of tagging evolved from shop, where the recommendation once was to tag the profession (now it says: you are free to use any....) > About "steel worker", I would imagine that as a person working in a steel > mill, who might also be called a foundry worker. The other case you mention > could be called a framer, although carpenter or just construction worker > might be more common. This is very interesting. So basically in English you don't distinguish between working with wood and working with steel? I thought framer and carpenter were reserved to working with wood. "Construction worker" seems very generic to me, I am looking for specific terms. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
