Thanks to Donal we have some splendid presets in JOSM. I am interested in adding new types of boundaries, some for OSM and some perhaps better suited to histosm.org. All can be used with umap or leafet or maperitive. In most cases the line features of townlands, streets, canals etc are already there I am merely adding relations.
As an example civil parishes are tagged as boundary=civil_parish name= xxx type=boundary ...... I have added some Roman Catholic Parishes as boundary=rc_parish name= xxx type=boundary as tagging protocols have developed maybe I should have used boundary=parish denomination=Roman Catholic or boundary=parish:roman_catholic When adding historic Anglican parishes in the Diocese of Meath 1885. I have started to use boundary=anglican_historic_parish perhaps I should remove the historic reference and add historic=yes Hopefully this will lead to discussion and resolution on Saturday but I welcome suggestions from those unable to attend. I am also unsure if historic and current city wards which have Councillors elected are administrative or electoral boundaries? By the way am I flying in the face of reason and custom in naming a historic parish as "Trim Parish 1875" should I just use "Trim"? Like "Rathvilly" that is mapped as a townland, as a civil parish, as a Roman Catholic Parish, as a Barony, an ED, and a registrars District. How does a punter best search for just one of them on OSM? I look forward to your opinions and to meeting some of you on Saturday, let's wring as much shared benefit as we can from getting together. _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list Talk-ie@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
