from my experience it is mostly not the amount of bureaucracy but the response times that are a real show stopper ;-) > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpublic_building > this is not a really an alternative, as it is not a synonymon, it is about a public building (and implicitly referring - how I interpret the intentions of the tag - to public services inside the building), and would from my interpretation include a lot of services that won't be included in "ufficio pubblico" (e.g. libraries, museums, schools, ...). Still I agree that amenity=ufficio_pubblico is in no way a good tag idea. First - if we were to introduce a country-specific tag for the public administration, what I oppose like you do - I'd expect a namespace for this, like "it:ufficio_pubblico" (to indicate that the tag is in Italian). Secondly, if the reason to introduce this tag was to tag "informagiovani", and if this is their homepage: http://www.informagiovani.it/ , I wouldn't even classify these as public administration, as they are privately run. There are English words to express the concept of "ufficio pubblico" and the tag - if chosen as generic as it is here - could well be in English. As a tag proposal for this specific institution I would have expected something on the same "specificy level", e.g. amenity=it:informagiovani (but I wouldn't support such a specific toplevel tag either). IMHO we should define the type of service that informagiovani is offering, and then try to find a suitable tag. Up to now there is no actual documentation or definition on the proposal page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ufficio_pubblico cheers, Martin
