The tagging seems fine to me. > Is it time to consider some sort of general overhaul of landuse to make it > more flexible? Are you thinking of a system with sub-keys? Not sure if a general overhaul is necessary, but land use (as well as land cover) certainly has room for improvement: there are missing land uses (e.g. the proposed governing area or forestry) and some of the current tags are problematical and confusing (e.g. retail, which actually is a subset of commercial). By the way, if someone is interested, i've recently made a table comparing land use categories from the UK's National Land Use Database with OSM's landuse tags: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/landuse%3Dgovernmental Regards Markus _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
