Hello,
I stumbled upon this place: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2994322059.
I initially thought Urbex would be the former name of the factory
("Exploitation de craie abandonée" = "abandoned clay exploitation" in
English), but it seems it rather stands for "Urban Exploration":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_exploration.
I wanted to improve the tagging, but Im not sure what to choose.
I thought an area for the land piece with:
* abandoned:landuse=industrial
* resource=clay
* description=Exploitation de craie abandonée
And an area for the building on the land piece with:
* abandoned:building=industrial
But what about the urban exploration activity ?
I couldn't find something helpful in the Wiki and I found only two
occurrences of urbex=yes on taginfo:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/urbex.
Though not popular, urbex=yes could make sense but then only as an
additional tag, I suppose.
Probably leisure would be suitable because urbex is not a physical something
but an entertaining activity conducted at the place.
So, I thought of a node with:
* leisure=urban_exploration (or urbex ?)
* urbex=yes (to be consistent with the other two existing occurences of the
tag, but is it advisable ?)
* description=Urban Exploration
* wikipedia=en:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_exploration (because
there is not documentation of urbex on OSM Wiki, I was thinking of a link to
Wikipedia instead; because urbex puzzled me, it will likely puzzle someone
lese and a link on the tag might come handy, even if to a generic article)
* informal=yes (ultimately, it's a probably a private place and even if
exploration was doable in practice without too much trouble, it's probably
not official and I'm not inclined to tag access=permissive because it might
imply a sort of permission was given but I have no evidence of that from my
armchair).
What would you recommend to improve the tagging ?
Without any knowledge of it, I'd not touch it!
Looks to me, from wikipedia, to be an activity that has no physical presence.
No 'pitch', 'track' etc. It may use features that are there,
but their use adds nothing to the feature and the activity may be changed
randomly.
Should it be mapped at all?
