Sorry, I was wrong with the specific example dog. Though I have to say, that cat is unclear weather your are talking about the species "house cat" or the genus cat, the same with horses as the Mongolian horse and the "domestic wild horse" are different species. The dictionary should not mention a single species but show the differences. Still the main point remains as there are already established tags why not using them and if there is a problem with latin names you can still use language code as subkey (e.g. species:ru=*) Please, do not get me wrong. We had a similar discussion with plants (e.g. trees) two years ago and I just wanted to get it right from the beginning, this time. fly _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
