Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - yarn shops
As far as I know yarn to knit socks and other textiles to be washed often are made nowadays usually from a mixture of wool and polyester (or other synthetic materials) while there are sold many balls of wool to knit other textiles at least in Wollgeschäften (literally wool shops) in Germany. Often their names contain the term Wolle (wool). In such shops you can buy needles too. Balls made from other natural materials processable like wool, such as cashmere, are sold there too. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - deposit rings
Hi everyone, I propose the new key deposit_ring to indicate if a waste basket is equipped with a deposit ring, which number began to grow in Germany some years ago. These are present at (central situated) waste baskets in over one hundred German municipalities nowadays. You can read the proposal here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/deposit_rings Please discuss the proposal on the discussion page in the wiki and on these mailing list, if you want to. Are there similar things in your country? Please mention it. Regards Sebastian ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Historic
In Germany I found at least one battlefield from the mid of the last century which is tagged as historic=battlefield. Both in English and in German the mid of the last century is included in that what is modern. In Germany the modern period is often considered as a time span from the beginning of the twentieth century either until today or until to a subsequent era, which is called postmodern. The question if the modern age already ended or not is not important. But if we consider the modern age as the century (1900 – 1999) and we would agree not to tag any modern battlefield as historic=battlefield, which other tag should we use for them? The definition of the historic=battlefield tag raises an interesting question concerning the key discussed in that thread: What means historic in the context of OSM? According to the wiki page the tag is properly for: „The site of a battle or military skirmish in the past. This could be on land or at sea.“ Okay, we could consider battles and skirmishes as ended if there is no soldiers or working military robots anymore. If they ended they are in the past. That is an easy point, I hope. But to be historic means to pertain history as far as I understand it and history is, I would define it, and many other would agree I assume, not simply everything in the past. History is some kind of narration, may created by a community through it tales, may a reconstruction (attempt) of forgone events by historians. Should we define are limit of what should be tagged as historic? Do we need a barrier (ten years out of use, for example) or is the key properly for everything what is now out of use? If there is an aircraft standing on an airstrip which has been decommissioned yesterday (or thirty minutes ago), is it considered properly to tag them as historic=aircraft? ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging

There is a tagging scheme for Wikidata items, name:etymology:wikidata, which allow to refer to a multi-language description of it meaning. It should be sufficient. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] Remove non-prefixed versions of 'contact:' scheme
The non prefixed tags should be replaced manually to avoid such problems. When a website is not a contact website then it should be prefixed with another suitable namespace. It would be more useful than just use always website.

But a website doesn't always contain contact information like websites devoted natural/man-made features. IMO, noone should convert 'website' tag for this memorial https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1416386078 into 'contact:website', so global automatic tag replacement would be an error in this case. ___ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
Re: [Tagging] implied surface values?
That can be a problem. If I survey streets on ground it is problematic if it is tagged in such way. Then I struggle with a map app that show me the surface, but with no visible difference between a sett or similar surface or just surface=paved. Additionally I use StreetComple to find missing surfaces. Surfaces mapped in such way you use are not considered as a missing surface. When are are more than just a few mapper in the country, it is better to omit surfaces if you was not at the place to find the right value. Some other mapper will do it later. But it is more difficult to find places with need for a specific surface tag, if there are already „raw“ values. Mapping works as team work, everybody do a small part. You should just omit things if you can not be sure. Regards Sebastian On 12.02.20 13:29, Shawn K.

Re: [Tagging] amenity=vending_machine/vending=bottle_return - operator=
But in some shops there are checkouts, where you can give yogurt jars or some kinds of bottles and get the deposit refund. I know a shop, where yogurt jars and some kinds bottles are taken at a checkout, but other bottles at a reverse vending machine. Its usually one checkout in that shop, in the beverages department with own entree, but direct connect the rest of the shop via a lift. Maybe a tagging with bottle_return=yes bottle_return:type=machine for reverse vending maschines and for acceptance at checkouts bottle_return=yes bottle_return:type=checkout would be more accurate?
