Hi, I'd like to get some opinions on a mapping/tagging problem I have here.
Usually I would tag an amenity (inside a building) that is enclosed by an area that is clearly part of the amenity (like playgrounds around a kindergarten, outdoor area of a botanical garden) *not* on the building (or even a node inside it) but on the enclosure of that area. If not everything inside that area would belong to that amenity, I would use a site relation instead. I'd probably double the address tags though to keep a full dataset on both the amenity and the building, Now I have the case where two amenities share the same outdoor area. (Both buildings lie within it and both use it.) So now where to tag the amenities? I can't mix both tag sets on the outline of the area. But tagging only the buildings now would leave the area without a tag at all (except maybe barrier = fence) and without a connection to the amenity. One solution I can think off is to give some kind of landuse=* tag to the area and than include it in two different site relations containing the buildings each. Although I'm not a friend of bogus landuse tags if it's really not obviously a single usage. Or, as this is conceptualy the same problem as multiple amenities inside a building, tag only the buildings and leave the area (maybe as a landuse=* too) without connection to it as we do with amenity-nodes inside an otherwise un-tagged building. Do you have a better solution? Thanks, Chaos
