a couple of months ago, i brought up the circuit proposal again, to a profound lack of interest. it is being used, by myself and others, because it does serve a need. as a reminder the original proposal is here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Relations/Proposed/Circuit but in the past couple of days, i've had an idea, and you all know how dangerous that can be. what if, instead of adding this circuit type, we instead recognized that the route relation already exists and the purposes of the rather specialized circuit relation could be handled simply by adding a raceway or race_circuit subtype. additionally, there is a need in OHM that arises for a similar route relation variant type for horse racing tracks, which has to do with temporal tagging of race tracks that have served both purposes in their lifecycles, sometimes but not always at the same time. this seems like a really clean way to get what's needed while sticking with a relation that already exists. the additional tags for things like start line, finish line, etc. would be added much like the specialized tags for outher types of routes. thoughts? richard -- [email protected] Averill Park Networking - GIS & IT Consulting OpenStreetMap - PostgreSQL - Linux Java - Web Applications - Search _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
