Re: [OSM-talk] Who interprets semicolon in tag values?

2013-09-29 Thread Colin Smale


Take a look at the lanes tagging business. They solved basically the
same problem there by always putting the data in the same sequence. 

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lanes [3] 

If any of the values actually need multiple values themselves, you can
simulate a 2D matrix by using two different delimiters. The lanes
tagging scheme does this as well. 

One has to wonder whether your examples really reference the same POI.
Maybe within the same building, but if the opening hours, phone number
etc are different, it is starting to feel like two independent
enterprises in a common building. 

Any takers for JSON-valued tags?

Thinking about it again, just using semicolons does not help to solve the
problem at all. Often an object has multiple tags that belong together. If
you mash multiple objects together with semicolons, you quickly stumble over
your own feet expressing additional information.

E.g. if your pub;restaurant has an additional tag (cuisine, phone number,
tourist attraction...), you don't know whether it belongs to both or only
one and which one.

If you just want to add different opening hours, the idea falls flat even
faster as the opening hours tagging scheme already uses semicolons to
express the times for one institution.

This is a known problem, see the disclaimer on the page. Unfortunately,
the problem already exists in the original recording, so it cannot
easily be repaired.

Great ! Many thanks.
But I don't know if I'm the only one in this case. This video:
