Hi

I am not at all clear from this as to how to tag a natural gas pipeline and the various equipments at substations, or water or liquid hydrocarbons eg aviation fuel.

Is a product tag needed? The assumption is electricity (IEC 601 is purely electricity) but what about other stuff  especially where words and phrases are common irrespective of product.

Regards

Tony

HI all

The power and pipeline substations functions proposal is under RFC since early January.

Received comments on Talk page allow a few important improvements, here you go for a concrete benefits summary

The vote will begin shortly if no further discussion starts over

All the best

    Hi,

    I recently found out that current tagging for substations (power
    or pipelines) with substation=* key actually merge two distinct
    concepts.
    It deals with hierarchy levels and specific network functions a
    substation can host.
    It's hardly possible to document the substation=* key properly
    with the values voted in the last pipeline extension proposal.
    Main issue is a "compression substation" can also be a
    transmission or distribution substation and it hasn't been solved
    during the review process.

    I wrote a new proposal to move the less used values of
    substation=* in more detailed and dedicated functions subkeys.
    It also adds substation=generation (formerly
    substation=transmission) and substation=delivery which are missing
    currently.
    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Substation_functions

    This not-so-big change on < 2000 existing objects (out of +300k
    power substations and 7k pipeline substations) would enable OSM to
    have a better matching with IEC definitions and a more usable
    tagging. We will be able to tag more objects with substation
    tagging (delivery substation mainly) than before.
    Most of function subkeys has defaults that allow us to add them on
    specific situations if required only.

    I'll add more example before vote start (surely next Febuary or
    March depending on how RFC goes)

    All the best

    François
