Do you mean that these buildings are already mapped in the Openstreetmap Database, but as a generic tag like "building=yes"? Or are you planning to import the shapes of buildings from an external database? If you are adding the tags due to local knowledge of the mappers, especially if the mappers survey the buildings, then that is great. If the data is coming from an external source, please read and follow the Import Guidelines and the Automated Edits Code of Conduct: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines You may wish to look at how the key building=* is currently used: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building Most commonly, the key "building=*" describes how the building looks: for example, a building that was built as a church, but is now used as a theatre, is still a "building=church" but then you add "amenity=theatre" to show that it is used as a theatre. Residential, commercial and retail areas are mapped with the key Landuse and include the land around the buildings. In residential areas, this would include gardens, lawns, garages, parkings spaces, and so on, tagged landuse=residential. The buildings will be building=house, building=apartment, building=duplex, building=terrace and so on. In Commercial and Retail areas, the landuse area will include parking lots, service roads, service buildings, outdoor seating areas, courtyards, and so on, in the landuse=commercial or landuse=retail areas. And landuse=industrial includes the industrial facilities as well as warehouses, man_made=works (factories), service roads, parking lots, power lines, etc. There is currently no established tag for mixed-use urban areas, but most of these are tagged as landuse=retail, since retail is often the main use of the first floor or level of the buildings in a mixed-use area. If retail isn't the main use, rather offices plus hotels and some residential, it is common to use landuse=commercial for commercial+residential or office+hotel areas. In addition, mappers are encouraged to map the shops, offices, and other individual features within each building. A building=office will often contain one or more office=company, office=ngo, or office=government features. Retail buildings and landuse will contain one or more shop=* features See: - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shop - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:office For public services, many things are found under office=government or amenity=* - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Aoffice%3Dgovernment - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity As a general overview, you can see the complete list of common features at Map Features: - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features Also see "How we map" - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_We_Map And "how to map landuse" which includes a relatively complete list of tags related to how lands and buildings are used: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Landuse I hope your project is successful! -- Joseph Eisenberg On 3/21/20, Guillermo Ariel Silva Lopez <guillermi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, I am currently working on a project called Atlas Urbano ( > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/AtlasUrbano) where we seek to upload > more data to mapped building polygons by the MapPYOSM project in different > cities of Paraguay. > > The main idea is to be able to generate a first layer of general > information on building uses that is scalable and replicable to all > municipalities.
