Hello. Tagging schemes for cram schools and tutorial centers have been discussed very often, but none of the discussion got to the solid conclusion.
I am strongly concerned about the situation, and requested for comments on my diary. ML: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2019-May/045457.html English: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/yumean1119/diary/364867 Japanese: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/yumean1119/diary/364501 My proposal is the following: 1. Use a well-documented tag for the main tag. I think office=educational_institution would be the best, but amenity=prep_school or another tagging is also OK. 2. Then, add education=cram_school or education=tutoring as an auxiliary tag. When I posted my idea on the discussion page at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Education_Reform_Alternative There was a comment by Warin61: --cited from https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_Features/Education_Reform_Alternative -- Because it would be confusing to have educational features under 2 keys particularly when one of them is named *educational*. Think about teaching a new mapper, a clear logical order is far easier to learn than one where some bits are other there while others are in yet another area. Warin61 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Warin61> (talk <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Warin61>) 08:54, 9 June 2019 (UTC) --end-- Yeah, I must admit that having two keys in one feature is cofusing. However, throwing away current tags like amenity=school and promoting to use education=* tags is much worse. This obviously breaks forward compatibility. That's why I want to use education=* as a sub tag, not as a main tag. I think it's the chance of a lifetime to deepen the discussion about tagging educational features, because today is the very day someone chaneged the status at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_Features/Education_Reform_Alternative to abandoned and the original auther Erkinalp reverted the status back to proposed. This shows he/she has not lost the motivation! Takayuki Ishino (User: yumean1119) yumean1...@gmail.com
