I included the text on each memorial, tagged text. Would that be
better tagged inscription, or with some other tag?
 

I've used commemoration on a couple of memorial benches in my
village, e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1419167468, but
now you mention it, inscription sounds more generic, as there might
be inscribed public objects that aren't commemorative.
   
I've certainly used inscription when mapping Swedish rune stones ... 
so it certainly has flexibility!

[Talk-GB] How to tag Police Memorial Trust (and similar) memorials

2011-10-24 Thread Andy Mabbett
I recently mapped a couple of Police Memorial Trust memorials, for example:

   
http://www.policememorial.org.uk/Police_Memorial_Trust/PMT_Local_Memorials/PMT-Swindells-2004/PMT-Swindells-2004.htm

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.511667lon=-1.866628zoom=18layers=M

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1478159796

with Tag:historic=memorial.

I included the text on each memorial, tagged text. Would that be
better tagged inscription, or with some other tag?

How should I tag the fact that a memorial was erected by the Police
Memorial Trust?

The documentation of Tag:historic=memorial

   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dmemorial

is silent on these matters.

How should I tag the fact that a memorial was erected by the Police
Memorial Trust?
How about operator=Police Memorial Trust
