Great. It is helpful to update the building tag to a more precise value. But as mentioned above, the use of an area is usually mapped as a larger landuse=retail/commercial/etc. feature around the buildings and other surrounding land. The building=* tag should describe what the building looks like. Often that has something to do with it's function: a building of storefronts with glass display windows will often be mapped as building=retail, and a supermarket building is usually a special design and can be tagged building=supermarket. But residential buildings should be mapped based on the actual design: like building=apartment, building=semidetached_house, building=house, building=dormitory, and so on. -- Joseph Eisenberg On 3/21/20, Guillermo Ariel Silva Lopez <guillermi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Joseph, the mappers will survey the buildings with mapillary imagery > that we upload for them, these buildings are already mapped in the > Openstreetmap Database, but as a generic tag like "building=yes" > > > Guillermo Silva > > El sáb., 21 mar. 2020 a las 0:12, Joseph Eisenberg (< > joseph.eisenb...@gmail.com>) escribió: > >> Muchas gracias, Sr. Silva >> >> > we seek to upload more data to mapped building polygons by the MapPYOSM >> project in different cities of Paraguay. >> >> 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.
