OK, so I will include the 'type' tag in the proposal. But honestly, with this intention 'type' should have become an attribute to the 'relation' tag, schouldn't it?

Because of that I had include the question. Nonetheless I think that it's redundant, as the existence of a group tag should make it clear that this is a group :) Streets, houses, what ever do it the same way. > What's the difference between way and area in this context?

Unfortunately that is not the case. Most often someone just defined a node somewhere on the island. So we have to be able to use both. But the requirement for the way is, that it has to be closed Cheers Hendrik -- Hendrik "BasicBaer" Voelker mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nutrimatic.de/ It's easy to distract fat people.

All established relations (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations#Established_uses_of_Relations) seem to use k='type' v='something' to indicate what kind of relation it is. Later somebody may want to add a relation that describes eg. a group of lakes. I'd suggest we follow that template and include . What's the difference between way and area in this context? Wouldn't area be a more natural way to describe an island? /Erik Hendrik T Voelker skrev: > Am 13.09.2008 um 19:17 Uhr schrieb Hendrik T Voelker: > >> just a short question: >> >> How do I describe a group of islands, like e.g. the Ertenholmen (consists >> of >> about 13 islands, islets, and archipelago in the Baltic Sea. >> >> I would expect to use the relation for that > > It seems there is not yet any solution for this.

So how about the following: ... The immediately arising question is, is "group" enough, or would you also think that an is required?
