.As has already been discussed at some length in the thread on tagging of State Parks in the US, I've been working on a proposal for a 'protection_class=*' key to replace 'protect_class=*'. It replaces the seven numeric codes from IUCN (plus a zoo of codes that OSM appears to have cut out of whole cloth) with 'protection_object=*', whose values are drawn from a group of word-oriented codes that, it is hoped, will be more mnemonic. (The proposal to describe State Parks as protected areas was reasonably well received except for the issue that it depended on the numeric 'protect_class=*' to describe the protection.)
The proposal has now reached a state where I think it can be opened for a formal RFC, and can be found at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal:_Named_protection_class_for_protected_areas . Of course, I'll monitor both this list and the talk page for the Wiki page for comments, and try to address whatever comes up. -- 73 de ke9tv/2, Kevin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
