Re: [Tagging] Reviving the conditions debate

2012-06-14 Thread Flaimo
With the access 1.5 and default opening_hours syntax it would look like this:

define the rules for "forward" and "backward":

• access!forwardrule.time=Mo-Fr 16:00-18:00
• access!forwardrule.direction=forward
• access!backwardrule.time=Mo-Fr 06:00-09:00
• access!backwardrule.direction=backward

apply them to motorized vehicles:

• access:motorized?forwardrule=no
• access:motorized?backwardrule=no

define a more specific mode+role combination which outweights the
rules applied to "motorized"

• access:motorized&&agricultural=yes
• access:motorized&&delivery=yes

this notation has the same flaw as the current access scheme. it mixes
transportation modes and user roles. "motor_vehicle" is a
transportation mode. "agricultural" is a user role. not everywhere on
this planet "agricultural" automatically means "motor_vehicle". that
is what the 1.5 proposal tries to solve.

very easy. use the 1.5 proposal :-). for germany you could use
access:motorized&&agricultural=yes. in developing countries, where
motor vehicles are not common for most people, you could just use the
role: access:agricultural=yes. That is the whole purpose of splitting
user roles and transportation modes. and you don't run into the risk
of a "germanification" of openstreetmap by always taking the german
law or other western country laws as the basis for all tagging rules
and leave out underrepresented countries.

2011-03-18 Thread Flaimo
i think you misread the proposal. you don't tag any capacity tags on a
single parking space. and all common properties can also be defined in
the relation, so no need to tag every single space either. Quote:
"General tags ... defined in the relation are inherited by the
elements inside the collection as long as not mapped otherwise."

the naming for single spaces, as also the usage of the existing
amenity=parking is already in discussion in the comments of the
proposal.

my original version used new tags for all three elements, but a user
in the comments suggested to explicitly use amenity=parking for
compatibility reasons and to slowly force renderers to adapt this
mapping scheme.

i don't agree with that, because only the physical areas where, for
example a car, can park is a parking space/area, but not for example
the street itself. the current mapping scheme by using a big area over
the whole parking facility is just inaccurate and comes from times
where mappers didn't have satellite images available and couldn't
accurately map such areas. what you actually would need is a
landuse=parking and a amenity=parking. the first describes the whole
parking facility, the second the actual parking spaces.

take this parking lot for example: http://osm.org/go/0JhJenH8g-- . how
should a renderer or routing programm know, that those individual
parking spaces actually are one big lot? that's the whole purpose of
the proposal, so a more accurate mapping of the individual elements is
possible. if you want to use the current inaccurate mapping scheme you
can still do that by not using don't use parking_type and a relation.

Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - parking (redux)

2011-03-18 Thread Flaimo
ok, i see what you mean now. use amenity=parking for the whole
facility, and the new tags for defining the elements inside. that only
works without a relation as long as you only have one logical parking
lot that's not split up in different areas. but parking lots, on
airports for example, are often separated by official roads which are
not part of the parking lot. therefore you would map two
amenity=parking areas and then you need the relation anyway. and what
about situations where parts of the area are not part of
amenity=parking? exclude them by creating a multipolygon relation for
that spot? doesn't make things easier. also inheritance of properties
would be more complicated in the long run. that's exactly why the
relation=site proposal was written (which, according to the comments,
is already used a lot) and why i based my proposal on that.

i'll mention your concern in the comments of the proposal and let's
see what the other users think.

on terms of the interpretation of amenity=parking. i don't see why the
purpose couldn't be further refined by an additional tag. it is done
this way for highway=service + service=* for example.

take a look at the example for the car rental:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Big_car_rental_service.png
it's about inheriting general values defined in the relations and
subrelations. i think with just a multipolygon this is not possible.
but i actually consider multipolygon relations more complicated to
understand than the site relation.

just relying on a surrounding amenity=parking area without a relation
also has another flaw: underground parking. basically nobody maps
underground parking facilities as areas with layer=-1. all of those i
have seen so far in OSM are mapped as nodes at the entrances. and that
is the problem. underground parking facilities often have more than
one entrance. right now, each entrance is interpreted as its own
parking lot. the relation would group them together to one parking
facility.

labeling position is not mentioned in the parking proposal and i also
don't think that it is important right now. it would be a nice
benefit, though. also the site relation for parking could be part of a
bigger site relation which would represent a consistent mapping stile.
that nobody interprets it is not the mappers or the mapping schemes
fault. sticking with an older and, in my opinion, less suitable
method, because map and routing programmers don't keep up with new
developments, shouldn't be the way to go. otherwise we still wouldn't
have the new public transport scheme, which also is also used a lot
and still isn't interpreted in mapnik.

i think, that it doesn't really matter under which key parking spaces
and entrances are mapped. which one would you suggest? the parking key
is already taken.

you can use amenity=parking_space it, but you don't have to. as stated
in the proposal there are situations where it is actually not possible
to do detailed mapping. that's when you should continue to use the
current amenity=parking.

> I think this is too complicated for most cases.

as stated in the proposal, it is meant for complicated parking
situations, not every single parking lot. you can use it though if you
like to do detailed mapping. it is definitely easier to understand,
than for example the proposal for public transport which is already
widely used.

as mentioned in previous mails as also in the proposal, areas for
grouping don't work out.

while you could use amenity=parking_space for itself,
amenity=parking_entrance doesn't make much sense without the context
of the relation which holds the information of the actual
(underground) parking facility. if you want to use
amenity=parking_space without a relation, you could do so, but then
you could stick with amenity=parking anyway.

[Tagging] your opinion on a delete/change key

2011-04-15 Thread Flaimo
recently i stumbled across one of my edits i did over a year ago. i
mapped a new house with building=construction and the area around it
with landuse=construction. i totally forgot about that, and since
there don't seem to be any other mappers close by, nobody removed the
construction tag even though the house has been finished a long time
ago.
so i thought, maybe it would be nice to have some tags to handle
situations like this:

1) delete = 

elements (node, way, area, relation) tagged with this key could be
deleted after the date given (as long as they don't share any data
with other elements)


2) delete: = 

same as the key above, but only deletes the line for the referenced
key (if it still exists at the time)


change: = 2011-04-11T12:22:22;

same as delete:, but instead of deleting the line it would change
the value for the referenced key. if the key doesn't yes exists or
doesn't exists anymore, it gets added.

so in my case i would have added a "delete=2011-01-31T00:00:00" to the
area tagged with landuse=construction (which was over a bigger
landuse=residential area) and a
change:building=2011-01-31T00:00:00;house to the building, which at
that point was still tagged with building=construction. bots then
could check the database on a daily basis for those tags and
delete/change them accordingly.

what's your opinion on that? if the overall response is positive, i
could start a proposal for it.

i think that is to vague. a user should have an idea, what happens,
when he uses the tag. "reinsprect" can mean everything from "it will
be deleted" to "nice, but nobody is going to touch this".

also for finished constructions i wouldn't invent a new tag. if the
construction is estimated to be finished in 2 months, i would just add
a grace period of one additional month and then use
"change:highway=;residential" to change the currenten value from
"construction" to "residential"

elderly people or call centres for home based care taking. the later
one should rather be tagged with office=*. the way i intended it, it
is as a place where children go to after school to do homework and

i don't understand on how that would be the case. after execution of
the task the corresponding tag gets deleted anyway since they are only
temporarily.
i can't see on how changesets should be better. you would have to
start a changeset per deadline and that's even more complicated, since
it cannot be done easily within tag editors. also fellow mappers would
never know that someone else already has a changeset prepared, since
mostly people check the tags only.

in parts, that is also my optinion. that is why i didn't call it suite
or something like that, but also because of following reasons:

1) whats behind a door or entrance can be something else than just a suite
2) plain english words are also more easily understood by non native speakers
3) it doesn't favor the british or american way of naming things

if it gets approved i would suggest to put the different notations
used in each country in the description column of the addr wiki page
(or the localized version of the wiki page).

voting ends in two days. though the overall response is positive,
voter participation is still low. so if you haven't voted yet, i would
encourage you to do so. for those, who don't want to go through the
whole lengthy proposal, here is the outline: two new amenity values:
parking_space and parking_entrance. tied together with a standard site
relation.

Re: [Tagging] Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - childcare

2011-05-10 Thread Flaimo
as stated in the proposal, childcare is not the same as kindergarden.
it is something children go to after school (and sometimes after
kindergarden) to fill the time gap between the end of school and the
time parents with a full time job can take care of them. in some
countries this isn't necessary, since school goes to late in the
afternoon anyway and afterwards the children are brought home by
school buses directly. but in other countries school often ends around
noon and that is where this kind of facilities fill the gap.

Further, i too consider the social facility tags to negative. Besides
that, i couldn't see a social_facility=* value that would fit. the
"or=child" part references to an target audience, which would
correspond more to the "age" tag of my proposal and not the
amenity=childcare.

That page has a not so nice undertone of "help the poor", so I'm
reluctant to tag my amenity=kindergarten as a social_facility even
though it really is a "social facility". So maybe I should help to
expand it to be more about social and less about "social outreach",
but I would still tag most daycares as kindergarten:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dkindergarten

Obviously it's hard to describe daycare since it varies so much from
country to country, but the proposals don't seem to touch many of the
aspects brought up when you asked for comments the last time.

open_hours is not even usefull to map around here since it can mean so

it has been brought up a couple of times in the german forums, so it

you misread that. because if its imprecise definition, there are still
heated discussions on how detailed landuses should be mapped. some
leave out the areas of the streets, some don't. all i wanted to state
out is, that this isn't a part of the area:highway proposal. if you
want to draw it over landuses you can do so, but if you are part of
the other fraction you can connect it to landuses. I'm not taking
sides with this proposal.

that is perfectly possible with area:highway. just tag the road
area:highway=residential for example and the other
area:highway=footway. all values from the highway key are possible (at

there was a lot of discussion going on over the last two days for this
proposal, but still hardly anyone voted. i think it would be a good
idea if everyone who took part in the discussion would vote, so that
we at least get an impression on the tendency for or against the
childcare value. currently there are only five (positive) votes which
isn't a lot. i could also live with the social_facility value in case
it gets declined, but i would like to see a meaningful result in the
votes.

Re: [Tagging] website=*url* vs. contact:website=*url*

2011-05-12 Thread Flaimo
the reason for that might be, than no editor supports the contact:
syntax. personally, i always use it and type it in manually without
the JOSM preset, because it makes locating all the contact information
in long tag lists much easier. same goes for addr:, payment: and fuel:
hopefully in the future, when tag list tend to become longer and have
to be scrolled all the time, editors implement some sort of collapse
feature for namespaces. so +1 for "contact:" from me.

Re: [Tagging] website=*url* vs. contact:website=*url*

2011-05-12 Thread Flaimo
when was the topic of webcams ever mentioned? they have nothing to do
with this topic. also we are not talking about what counts as a
contact information and what not. pretty much everybody agrees that
phone, fax, e-mail and website are seen as contact information,
probably because millions of people put those on their business cards.
the topic is whether to use the contact namespace for those (four)
keys or not.

the numbers you list are like that because, as i mentioned before,
most use the presets for tagging. if the presets would be changed to
use the contact: prefix, the situation would be exactly the contrary
in two years. so we should list advantages and disadvantages of a
namespace and think about if it might make sense to group them under
"contact:" in the future by modifying the presets. existing tag could
easily be changed to the namespace (or the other way around) by a
simple one time batch job in the database.

hunting stand is just an example someone gave in the comments. it is
not really part of the proposal. if approved i probably won't put it
on the dedicated wiki page.

> shelter=yes or shelter=* could be a solution to think about.

that won't work. shelter=yes is already a sidecar tag mapped on an
element with another main key, that is not a shelter (like
highway=platform for example) to indicate that there is a shelter
somewhere, but cannot be exactly pinpointed (because for lack of
satellite images). i can't just go and give it a completely different
meaning of a refinement tag for an element mapped with
amenity=shelter. that is also one of the reasons why i didn't use
"recycling" in my recycling_type proposal.

the wiki page doesn't say that the restriction need to be of a legal
kind. access=no could also mean that it is physically not accessible
even though it might be allowed legally. on the other hand, i don't
see "avoid" as a value, but rather as some sort of additional
information like "description". so, just like
"wheelchair:description", you could use "hgv:avoid=yes/no".
