Re: [Talk-ca] Multiple university departments in one building

[James]

tim if you need an example of how to tag multiple levels via the indoor
tagging:

I did it at St-Laurent shopping mall:

https://openlevelup.net/?l=0#18/45.42184/-75.63833

everything is tagged using the simple indoor tagging schema. I highly
suggest using JOSM filter on level=

but then again josm now has a built in filter for levels

Thank you, John and James.

Place d'Orleans looks nice. And, of course, we do not map for the 
renderer. However, as the departments that I want to map are on 
different floor levels and not specifically in this or that corner of 
the building, the approach I have taken is still not pleasing.


I guess, I will read into the Simple Indoor Tagging schema then and see 
how it works out.


Cheers,
Tim

Generally it is considered bad practise to map for the renderer.

As an alternative take a look at Place d'Orleans shopping center in
Orleans Ontario each unit is mapped in outline with the appropriate tags
added.

If you look at mapping a building with floors I've seen office outlines
before now.

Hello,

I am trying to contribute to filling the gaps on McGill campus on
OSM at
the moment and I ran into a problem which I haven't fund a satisfactory
answer for yet.

We have several buildings on campus which are home to multiple
departments, all buildings have a building name.

I looked the OSM wiki feature pages and in the OSM forum and found the
following approach as apparently standard procedure:
1) Map building outline with building = university , name= XYZ
building,
operator=McGill University
2) Add a node inside the building for each department with
office=university, description=department name
This produces irritating blue dots in the outline of the building, see
https://osm.org/go/cIrNt~j2u 

When I looked at other universities, I found e.g. a node with
amenity=university, name=department name. But when looking at the OSM
wiki feature page for universities[1] it says you only should use
amenity=university for the whole campus.

The office tag I found when looking for multiple businesses in one
building, but the blue dot aren't nice.

Any suggestions on how to map this elegantly?

Yeah I did that with the indoor tagging schema

[Talk-ca] Multiple university departments in one building

[Tim Elrick]

Hello,

I am trying to contribute to filling the gaps on McGill campus on OSM at 
the moment and I ran into a problem which I haven't fund a satisfactory 
answer for yet.


We have several buildings on campus which are home to multiple 
departments, all buildings have a building name.


I looked the OSM wiki feature pages and in the OSM forum and found the 
following approach as apparently standard procedure:
1) Map building outline with building = university , name= XYZ building, 
operator=McGill University
2) Add a node inside the building for each department with 
office=university, description=department name
This produces irritating blue dots in the outline of the building, see 
https://osm.org/go/cIrNt~j2u


When I looked at other universities, I found e.g. a node with 
amenity=university, name=department name. But when looking at the OSM 
wiki feature page for universities[1] it says you only should use 
amenity=university for the whole campus.


The office tag I found when looking for multiple businesses in one 
building, but the blue dot aren't nice.


Any suggestions on how to map this elegantly?

Thank you,
Tim (aka AGeographer)
