Or does building=yes imply it is one single building? IMHO we should try to map every building as its own object, but you can't be sure that something mapped as building=* is indeed exactly one building and not more and not just a part of a building. > There is the terrace value, but that implies one orderly structure, not the > hodgepodge of houses, buildings and extensions that define organically grown > blocks. building=terrace can mean a terrace on its own but most of the times it is unfortunately a short form for terraced_house ;-) If it's intended for the latter I'd still expect individual houses to be mapped, not the whole block as one object > > There are a couple of "multiple" values too, which make sense, but is > undocumented and maybe overly precise. which sense can they make if there is no documentation for it? Are they different grades of specificity for the same building? E.g. building=residential;detached_house;bungalow (always the same building) Or are they several buildings represented by the same outline? Or are they building uses and not building types? cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
