2009/10/14 Gilles Corlobé gil...@corlobe.tk: Joseph In my opinion, the tag landuse=military should only be used for specificly military activities, like those discribed in the wiki. Some of you have suggested to create 2 areas, covering the same place. I don't think this is correct. One of you said that's done every day. How can it be? There can't be a forest inside a residential area. The residential area stops where begins the forest (and the contrary). Gilles might be true for residential and forest (still if it is a small forest could IMHO be as well inside the residential area), but there is other examples where e.g. forest or lake or railway-area or sth. else is inside another landuse, thus being part of it. Think of parks, a lake in the forest, a forest in a nature reserve, a forest in a military area, ... If it is not part of it, it has to be excluded by the use of a multipolygon-relation. cheers, Martin PS: What about continuing this discussion only in tagging-ML? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] [tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - (boundary=military)
2009/10/14 Gilles Corlobé gil...@corlobe.tk: You're right : If the area is covered by a forest (or a lake, or whatever), it should appear like this on the map. What would a user think if he finds a forest (even if it's in a military area) that is not on the map? And we should remerber that all users are not forbiden to enter into military areas! Some users needs to know the exact nature of the area (to know the size of a forest for example). I was just pointing out that there is a good reason to have 2 similar/same areas due to different land uses of the same land. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Those that think any tag you can think of should be used and who cares if the data is completely useless for anything later as long as it's human readable and verifiable. Those that want to put some thought into how to make the data as useful as possible for all purposes by trying to achieve some kind of consensus before tagging. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
