Another example of the landuse/landcover confusion. We could make an argument that we need a landcover value for 'densely developed'. The US National Land Cover Dataset has several values for 'developed land', just as it has several values for 'forested' (based on leaf cycle) and several for 'farmland' (pasture, cropland, orchard, vineyard, etc.) It's possible, though rare, to have a residential land USE with a different land COVER - consider a small cluster of private houses on a densely wooded parcel. I've been somewhat at a loss how to map the combination, but it's just another example of the same problem: one is physical and topographical, one is human and social. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
