For example, I have a lot of experience with traditional relational databases. I also work with a framework that uses key-value coding (ala Eiffel), so I am ok with it. And I have worked with geo data, but mostly in relational databases. But when I am looking at OSM data, I have a hard time finding the terms to use to ask the question I want the answer to. And I suspect my challenges are different that those of someone brought up with NoSQL technologies and such. Does this make sense? I often seem to have questions like: I am surprised to see this key being used on this feature. Where else is this key used? How comprehensively it is applied? I know there are tags in the US relating to TIGER data. If I know the TIGER id of an area, how can I find it on OSM? How can I find the major (by length? by type?) lines in an area, and not try to get the 450,000 other lines within this rectangle? Is there any help for someone coming to OSM from a YesSQL background? thanx - ray _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
