Bonjour Dega,

En effet toutes les clairières devraient être taguées en consequence par un
polygone. Un tag approprié pour cela pourrait être meadow ou scrub.

Quand à la présence ou non d'un sentier... difficile à dire par la vue
satelite: il faut vraiment un reperage terrain par des contributeurs locaux.
D'où la complémentarité entre une communauté locale vivante et des données
Canvec qui ne fournissent qu'un matériel brut

Hello Dega / all,

With regard to a path that cuts through a forest, the initial thought might
be to map the path as dirt or something similar. However, this would not be
efficient nor required. A line that denotes a path is, in itself,
technically a type of land tag as the any such pathway must meet some basic
criteria to be a path (deliberate connection, open land area, clearly
defined, etc).

For example, a regular residential road that cuts through a residential
area. Do we designate the entire area, including the land that the roads
are on as residential or do we segregate the land that the road occupies as
something separate from the residential land use? The first one allows for
large, uninterrupted polygons denoting a residential area while the second
makes for dozens of small polygons separated by roadways. It all depends on
what you think the line that makes up the road itself on the map
represents. If it represents a type of land use tag, then the first case
makes sense as the land is residential in general, except for any area
marked with a route as that route would mark the land as used for a road
within the residential area. If roads do not tag the ground beneath it,
then we need to specifically set what the ground underneath is to be tagged
as, requiring multiple smaller polygons to map.

I've seen this question pop up again and again, especially in countries
with a lot of small parcels of different land usage. For example, In
Germany it's very common to have several different land uses along one
road. So do we attach them via node to the way of the road or do they stop
x meters from the centerline of the road? What if you have trees
overhanging a road? How wide and developed has a trail have to be for it to
stop being part of a forest and become its own land use? How do you deal
with the editing nightmare of many different land uses glued to a road?

From what I've seen, there are good reasons for both perspectives and it is
highly unlikely that there will be consensus (or even a clear majority) for
either view in the community.

Hello,

Yes indeed some European countries are going further into smaller details.
And it's legit.
However, in the Canadian context, it seems that adjust  fix massive CanVec
data imports has higher priority than touching up every single landuse
parcel

It's not only about woodlands  water, but also some conversion errors like
Canvec schools converted into jails in OSM.
So every single little village in QC has his own little jail ! Funny? ;)
(Some of them have been fixed...)

And double-space in street names is also a pain when using Nominatim 

Zero un-taged pixel world map is high hope :-)

Greatings !
