Als je een landuse (in dit geval school) tagged met een adres heb je nog steeds 
een merge te doen.
Nu dit kunnen we in principe wel opvangen met QA check na een semiautomatische 
import.

I see this problem a bit bigger:

I think we should have a general register that defines what a tag implies for 
each road-law region (usually an entire country).
(And this data should ideally not be stored in the Wiki, but rather inside OSM, 
or a file you can download to use in your routing-software.)
For example all our highways are 120, but they are not tagged as such. So it's 
up to uninformed drivers and router-planners to figure this out.

That or we define at-least the default and each mapper get to define the 
differences from the world-wide norm.
(But this will cause newcomers to make many mistakes)

(If there is already such a thing, still rather green ;)

I know of
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Defaults

I didn't find a defaults relation for Belgium. (But I also didn't for France, I 
got it via the wiki. While searching for France, I found one "France" 
relation[1], while the defaults "apply" to another one[2].)

Maybe there are other efforts as well.

That is exactly the intention for plenty of things, If the law changes,
we don't need to update thousands of values.   It's like tagging foot=no
on a moterway...  We all know you can't do that.  Some stuff only makes
sense when you know the implicit rules that apply to the way/object. The
law states you can't walk on them.  We don't need to tag this
explicitly.  But most motorways in Belgium have a maxspeed assigned, not
sure where this idea comes from. (examples ?)

Data consumers will use those rules , and often they are different
between nations.  Data consumers actually add value to OSM by
incorporating these implicit tags in their rule set.  They also are free
to ignore some of them, and sometimes even have to to make sense.

One of the reasons is to prevent troll-tags to take control/messing up
logic , see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Trolltag

There are some pages I think you are asking for.  Check this one:

Dit is geen landuse maar een amenity dat je ws op doelde.   IMHO dit is
verkeerd, een addr:* tag hoort op een node, een entrance of een gebouw
te staan.  Tenzij een amenity ook een gebouw is kan dit wel.  Maar
adressen horen niet toe tot een streek. (die kan heel groot zijn
waardoor addressen minder nauwkeurig wordt).

Assuming we indeed wish to implement this proposal (or a modified version of 
it).
Who and when will this be voted on ? (Proposal is from 2010).

Looking at the discussion on that page, the main beef seems to be in the 
details.
I also get the feeling we should move this part of the thread of to a more 
world-wide channel.

amenity=school + address information is not so unusual  111.000 of
them are tagged with some address information according to taginfo. I
think the UK community tagged them like this during their quarterly
project. (I'm too lazy to look up their discussions to get
confirmation about this)
The wiki page of school also mentions the combination with the address tag.

I guess you have to dive into the talk page, archive of tagging
mailing list, some fora, etc. to find out where the idea came from.
[1] has some trails of it. You could also try to contact Dieterdreist
(Martin K.) who knows quite a lot about older discussions.

I don't think there is a separate landuse=school. Schools generally fall
inside a landuse=residential.

It's possible to tag building=school. If there is more than 1 building, add
an amenity=school for the school grounds. I'd put the addr information on
those, except if all the buildings have different addresses.

If there is 1 building with 1 school, I guess it can get amenity=school
together with building=school.

Duplicate housenumbers on seperate buildings is -for certain- an error,
if there are plenty of buildings in a school, then you could create a
relation and addr:* it once instead of all buildings, or map the school
grounds as per Jo's suggestion. Also a good idea is to create an amenity
relation of buildings and address that one.

It's also not uncommon that an amenity=school contains different
addresses on the same building and even different addresses on different
buildings all belonging to the same school.  It's not easy to sort this
out ...   An alternative idea would be to just map the entrances and
address those instead of the buildings.

It's still 'wrong' if there is a physical tag missing logic dictates
.e.g building ...  In any case.. it's -sometimes- terrible for routing
and geocoding purposes due to the possible size of an amenity giving
distorted results.   So far the theory...

I tested it with geocoding and it seems to be supported though.  I find
exact matches when looking for onjects that only have address
information present on amenities, so  I can confirm nominatim looks at them.

That being said, just discovered I actually mapped this myself in the
past to 'solve' multiple buildings sporting the same address data, but
also to support some of the buildings having a different address yet
they still belong to the same school.

The way I formed my opinion is by trying to find anything on addr:*
combined with an amenity on the wiki and I remarkably didn't find
anything to confirm nor deny that idea.

I remember mapping this school:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/205862112#map=19/50.96950/4.44678

Sure enough, just an amenity.  In the light of about 111K addressed
amenities in the UK as Marc mentions I would think this is de facto
accepted but not well documented.

So, I'm adjusting my opinion on this now and consider it OK instead of
wrong.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] GRB open data

2016-06-07 Thread Marc Gemis
FYI, some people will also map amenity=pub, restaurant, etc. as the
area for e.g. the pub + terrace + parking space and put the address on
that area (was also discussed on the GB--mailing list in order to seek
a common way of mapping amenities.)
Others might map this as landuse=retail.

Furthermore there have been discussions in the past to have some kind
of landuse dedicated for schools, again with the purpose to have more
similarity with e.g. building=house,landuse=residential.

So, you can see there are all kinds of ideas and methods to tag.
