Hi all, I have 3 areas to look at http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59586888
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59584575 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59584574 Yan Morin went ahead and the the conversion of the whole set, based on the rules that are listed here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase/Canadian_Aboriginal_Lands And so, based on the discussions & thinking about it a bit, the solution i came up with seems to solve everyones concernes (almost everyone's) .. since we cant please everyone :) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Daboriginal_lands#Discussions It's pritty easy to re-convert the dataset for different tags. So im looking to see if there are better options. ("i dont like it" isn't an answer) :) Here's an example, of how i want to tag all of them. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.1307&lon=-125.89699&zoom=17&layers=0B00FTF http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59588054 **** from wiki With some time to think about it, this tag proposal page should be changed to boundary:type<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:boundary:type&action=edit&redlink=1> =aboriginal_lands<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:boundary:type%3Daboriginal_lands&action=edit&redlink=1>. Here's why: example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/58942854 admin_level<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:admin_level> =4 <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:admin_level%3D4> -- because it has its own jurisdiction which is similar to a 'state/province' level, where it is still within a country (generally) more times than not. There are special cases (just like countries that are in transition & dispute). In some countries there are signed agreements with members of each group. place <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=state<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:place%3Dstate>-- this should also be used, as it clearly defines the fact that it is like a State/Province jurisdiction and more clearly defines the admin_level, where admin_level=4 could be used for boundary<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:boundary> =national_park<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dnational_park> http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/40060616 boundary<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:boundary> =administrative<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dadministrative>-- because this is an 'administrative' boundary. Where it's known, and sometimes signed, as it would be trespassing if there is no implied visiting (there is no security check to go/through the area) boundary:type<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:boundary:type&action=edit&redlink=1> =aboriginal_lands<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:boundary:type%3Daboriginal_lands&action=edit&redlink=1>-- although this is not documented (yet), it is a way to clearly list what type of boundary this is landuse<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:landuse> =reserve<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:landuse%3Dreserve&action=edit&redlink=1>-- in OSM, both the landuse and drawing the actual property line is used interchangeably. In this case. the default landuse would be the fact that the whole are is a reserve. When more details are known, these can also be mapped; Listing the physical environment, such as 'natural=wood' natural=grass natural=water. --acrosscanadatrails<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Acrosscanadatrails>16:02, 12 May 2010 (UTC) *** So if there are no objections, i'll move the page over to "boundary:type=aboriginal_lands" and put it in the draft status with details.
