I wouldn't mind if all the existing tags were replaced tomorrow with a brand new set of "intelligently-designed" keys. And I wouldn't mind if these keys were enforced from now on. And I wouldn't mind that I would have to relearn all the tagging I now know. Yes, it would be a "brave new world," and not the OSM we know now. Someone some time ago on one of the OSM mailing lists summed up the current situation by stating, "It seems OSM is incapable of moving forward." Unless we ever have more structure, I agree.
One way to try this could be to fork OSM? It's open data, go for it. Set up a new project, and import the OSM data, and mass change the tags? Replicate data from OSM, applying your data transformation programme automatically? People can choose to contribute data to your project. You can provide data downloads where data users can know that it's structured. If your project is successful, then enough of the OSM community will move there and you'll "win". Yes it takes a lot of work, but what you're proposing is going to take work anyway, so why not try? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
