thank you for reviving this. Bridge details are really a problem right now. > I'm in favor of placing the "structure" > classifications under "bridge:structure" to make it clear what's being > classified; there are about 550 occurrences of "bridge_type" at > present, most of which can go to "bridge:structure". The bigger > question is whether the "typological" values (covered bridges, > viaducts, trestle) should stay under "bridge" or move to a > "bridge:type" key. I think we could also keep typology in bridge=* like we do for buildings, but if there was a majority for bridge:type I had no problem either. >My second question is whether culverts should be included in this >proposal. >I included values for culverts in the "structure" >classification to maintain compatibility with the Humanitarian Data >Model < http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/Humanitarian_Data_Model >, >but tagging culverts on the overhead way (rather than the way that >passes through them) is a very small minority tagging style. JaakkoH, >who's active in Haiti work, suggested dropping it, and I'm inclined to >follow his advice. +1, I'd drop culverts from the bridge tagging, they are underneath Maybe we could also add some key to distinguish the kind of material of the structure, e.g. masonry, riveted steel, iron, wood, ...? cheers, Martin
