There are some aspects of your tagging that do not match accepted OSM practice: - keys and values (except free-form values such as names) should be in lower case, so "yes" should be used instead of "Yes", "wood" instead of "Wood" and so on - avoid abbreviations that are not self-explanatory. For example, I don't know what "OT" means - we do not usually use a "NA" value; instead we omit the tag There are also several overlaps with established tags as listed in a previous mail by Janko, so please use the existing ones where possible. Overall, I think it is very unlikely that a lot of your new tags will get much use by anyone except yourselves. They are tailored too closely to your own needs or are too vague. For example, things like building:condition=average are subjective and will probably not be used consistently, if at all. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
