Dear Clifford, dear Pierren, thanks for your thoughts. Here some answers

It's part of the import of the geodata of the State of Basel. Yes, we have explicit right to do so in written from the government authority [3]. No, I did not intend to discuss it on the import mailing list, since it's a very local import, I discussed it on the swiss-talk only. Pieren: > More seriously, is it not something very subjective ? is OSM the right > place for such list ? At least, "heritage" [1] is based on something > "verifiable" [2]. Yes, it is subjectively what is relevant enough to be tagged in OSM. The current list is a bit less subjective, since it's the official government list of the state of Basel which enumerates 36 buildings as being of architectural interest. Is this verifiable enough? Thinking of it, a solution might be to just create Wikipediapages for all of the 36 buildings (most are probably already there), and then set the wikipedia tag to the building? But would that no remove information, since there are so many wikipedia-tags, how can I get a map of all architectural monuments in a city? nounours77 [1] http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildt’sches_Haus [2] http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauluskirche_(Basel) [3] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Switzerland:Basel-Stadt#Datenimport_von_Geodaten_Kanton_Basel-Stadt (sorry in German only) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
