Re: [Tagging] RFD pipeline sub tag substance

2015-01-30 Thread althio
 Sorry, I was thinking of gas as a product (as in natural gas), not a
state of matter.

Confusing, so I proposed natural_gas for natural gas.

 I was thinking of substance=* as a category (water, fuel, oil, gas,
coolant, etc etc

I think we need (as often as possible) to tag separately nature and
purpose, otherwise it gets messy.

* nature, matter, substance, with eg. substance:name = *
* use, usage, purpose... with eg. pipeline:usage = drinking_water,
wastewater/sewage, drain/irrigation, transport/transmission, heating,
coolant, industrial, communication...

The categories with only one key are not well cut. Water can be coolant,
oil can be fuel, ...
We should not mix nature and purpose. And it should be clear in the keys.
The mapper could fill what he knows (nature and/or purpose) and leave what
is unknown.

 substance:state=* one of the 3 states, along with multi and slurry. Solid
is assumed to be pneumatic then?

I would prefer another term than solid.
state=solid is apparently a match for cables...
so it implies static=yes ;) ;)
maybe powder or something like particles_in_gas
if substance:moving=yes ;) ;) ;)

That is not coherent. Do you mean that (substance=gas) is for mainly

If it is gas only (substance=gas), it can be multiple gaseous
products. But it is not multiphase.
And then state=gas, not state=multi.


 substance=multi is about OK as a shorthand. Using multi -- instead of
 actual values -- may also imply you are not going to give further
 detailed tagging.
 substance=multiphase is really awkward.

 I think it would be substance:detailed:multiphase_gas for a particular item, 
 not as a general description.

 Otherwise, it is multi for the state or matter... Right?

Right, multi for state. My previous proposals were:

1.
substance:state = * or substance:phase = *
values limited to list eg.: gas, liquid, solid (cables), slurry
(=liquid+solid particles), multi (=multiphase, mostly gas and liquid,
possibly particles)

2.
I advocated for
phase/state=multi or multiphase
substance=[multi-valued] eg. substance=oil;gas;water

would a pneumatic garbage pipe be gas or solid, since it moves solid stuff (and

but what do you suggest. Do we need a key for the state of matter or
better use water_steam or hot_water or fluid_propane ?

 using the colon separator would keep from making additional tags
 (everything would be kept in the substance tagspace) - especially
 generic tags like fuel= water= gas= which might have uses elsewhere
 (like the water_tap discussion here earlier) or be confused for other
 uses (like not a subkey, but a straight key by itself), someone could
 stick fuel=unleaded_87 onto a gas station. Or does that already
 exist?

Have a look at fuel=* [1]. Nice, we already have the value in key
variant and a key=value variant with possibility to use semi-colon.

At least, we should consider the same tags for the same substances/fuels.

How about substance=wood_pallets.

Throwing out my ideas...

Disclaimer:
These are generic proposals for pipeline sub-tagging with example values
for illustration.
I do not want to derail this towards water/drinking_water and multi-values
(semicolon or namespaced). ;)

I propose 3 keys: use/purpose (as main subtag), state/phase and
substance/name.

pipeline:use = * or pipeline:purpose = *
values limited to list eg.: drinking_water, wastewater/sewage,
drain/irrigation, transport/transmission, heating, coolant, industrial,
communication...

[IMO this is the most interesting data to be rendered or externally used:
the intent of the pipeline]
May clash or need to be merged with the tag for pipeline:
usage = * (currently very specific and oilgas oriented).

Then additionally, because it can be informative and described with fixed
values
substance:state = * or substance:phase = *
values limited to list eg.: gas, liquid, solid (cables), slurry
(=liquid+solid particles), multi (=multiphase, mostly gas and liquid,
possibly particles)

Then, a bit of freedom with free-form value (possibly multi-values):
substance:name = *, eg.:
water, fresh_water, grey_water, steam...
natural_gas, oil...
chemical...
cables, optic_fiber...

Agreed in part.

If 'we' tag what we see at the site .. then the pipe line it self is 
first then the outside diameter of the pipe is next.


 The difference between inside and outside diameters in most cases 
(except of small pipes .. and they are not something 'we' would be 
mapping at the moment?) would be small, and probably much less than the 
mappers error in estimating the pipe's diameter (outer)? Very minor 
point. To cover any case .. just use diameter? And let the mapper use 
what ever they think is easiest/best?



Does what is inside the pipe need to be tagged? Yes .. because that is 
the reason for the existence of the pipe. And tells us a lot about where 
it comes from and goes too. Ok?


Pressure and temperature and substance would give the state (if mostly 
only one substance is present) so maybe the state does not need to be 
tagged?



Water .. why is this such a problem? Because it has so many uses, is so 
common? And 'we' assume so much about it? So 'we' have to deal with 
it... I too like 'grey water' .. but its meaning is too specific. I like 
some descritor that covers water that is not drinking water and not

grey water - includes storm water

in the case we are discussing here, we are talking about a pipeline. We'd
need a tag referring to the water in the pipeline, because it is not the

it. Btw.: if you follow this argumentation, this issue is also occurring
for other features like water taps or fountains (on a semantic level,
amenity=fountain, drinkable=yes doesn't make sense).

hi,

first, I wouldn't use the value of substance=* as key for the detailed
level, because in this case we would introduce a new key (i.e. fuel=)
whenever a new substance is introduced (i.e. substance=fuel).

second, I'd stick with two levels (general, detailed), otherwise we'd
eventually end up with a substance having 8 levels, down to the molecular
structure.

Pipe lines currently exist for non drinking water in various part of the 
world. And have done for some time. They are becoming more numerous as 
efforts to save water and reduce environmental impacts increase.


Unfortunately this does not have a tag for non drinking water .. 
possible values could be


non-potable_water

grey_water

Not recycled water as that is too restrictive .. it could be from a 
river/lake that is not suitable for drinking. Or even rain water that 
has not been checked for drinkablity.


I note thatif the medium of a pipeline you are tagging is not listed 
here, please choose a meaningful value at your own discretion.However 
that will lead to multiple values all meaning the same thing or be too 
restrictive.



Should this be a 'RFC' as in a request for comment?

According to taginfo the values in decreasing use are water (30%), gas, 
heat, sewrage, oil, hot water (20%), electricity (should be 'cable' 
according to the wiki), sewage (3%), oxygen, coal, lng, fuel.


I note This tag has a status unspecified' .. that probaly means it has 
not been voted on here.
