I can see what you're getting at, but under that concept, when we enter
opening hours as Mo-Fr 09:00-17:00, we should actually be entering
Mo=yes;Tu=yes;We=yes ... 09:00=yes;10:00=yes etc (or should that be
09:00=yes;09:15=yes;09:30=yes ... - no, of course it shouldn't be!).

For some situations, a range is perfectly acceptable, & saying that a
school is 0-12 is one of them.

maybe not, or not currently (they could introduce them at some point), what I 
wanted to say is that you need to know all possible values to make sense of a 
range, while you need no knowledge about possible values to get the information 
from a list.

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/grades#values overwhelmingly uses
the dash to show a range, and to a lesser degree the comma to list multiple
values. In fact this is what is suggested at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:grades. To use a semicolon in this
context or something like grades:1=yes, grades:2=yes etc. goes against that
common practice.

End of the day, it's easy for a computer to read "0-2" and "0 to 2" and
"0,1,2" and "0;1;2" as all the same, so really mappers should be able to
use what makes the most sense for them or what's less error prone and
simpler, as they all should be easily interpreted by the downstream data
consumer.

I'll still be using a range with a -. so 0-2 to mean from 0 to 2 inclusive.
I've used it all over my state for schools together with the grades key. To
me it's a lot clearer and simpler than the semicolon or multiple yes/no
values.

Which would be more explicit if mapped as addr:unit=3 + addr:housenumber=4.
Then downsteam consumers can decide to render as either 3/4 or Unit 3, 4...

Re: [Tagging] Multiple values in isced:level

yes, I guess the usual case of splits in systems with consecutive numbers 
running down the road is made with letters, because 1B is clearer than 1/2, but 
in reality you can find both.

if these were housenumbers, what about 1/3 ? 

There might also be 1/1, 1/2 and 1/4, etc., or it could mean 1;3 (1 and 3). The 
latter is quite common in Italy, where every door or gate gets its number, but 
I have also seen the former, where a housenumber has been split into several 
housenumbers.

There are several different views on this.  Mine would be 1-3 means 1;2;3
and 1,3 means 1;3.  Oh,
and 1,2,3 is an alternative to 1-3 but more cumbersome.  However, this is

This is also my general understanding although there are situations where the 
meaning can differ, e.g. housenumber = 1-3 can mean either 1;2;3 or 1;3 
(depending on the local numbering scheme for this road).

Use semicolons, for a range use 4;5;6. Be explicit and keep with the
standard value separator.

Re: [Tagging] Multiple values in isced:level

It could be cultural but I've always understood that the hyphen (-), ie.
1-3 would mean it covers 1, 2 and 3, while if you say 1;3 or 1,3 then it
would cover 1 and 3 only, excluding two 2.

So I think it depends, if you want a range use "-" if you don't want a
range use a ";" or ",".

I've tagged with isced:level many times and have commonly used a "-" to
indicate a range, eg. 1-2.

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Semi-colon_value_separator

One thing that page doesn't explicitly mention is that the semi-colon is a
problem in URLs because
it can be a valid, meaningful character in some URLs.

It really is that? Is there no risk of causing errors when converting data

[Tagging] Multiple values in isced:level

[Lanxana .]

Hi!
I would like to know how to indicate that a school offers several
educational levels. I've been seeing the isced: level tag, which is that I
think to use, but I have a question about how to separate multiple values.

I have looked in taginfo and approximately in 15000 cases the semicolon (;)
is used, in 3000 the comma (,) and in 1000 cases the hyphen (-). It would
seem therefore that the general criteria is to use the semicolon.

It really is that? Is there no risk of causing errors when converting data
to another format?

Another option that I had valued, and of which I have not found use, is to
add the level in the label itself, thus being:

isced: level: 1 = yes + isced: level: 2 = yes, for a center that offers
levels 1 and 2.

What's your opinion?

Thanks!
