[Tagging] GNC (General Nutrition Centers) - variety of shop tag values

2013-01-06 Thread dies38061
I wanted to tag a GNC franchise outlet in the United States and wasn't quite sure what value to use for the shop key. I find that I'm not alone. Using OpenLinkMap, I identified most of the current GNC outlets mapped in the US and recorded the key:shop values ... all of the variants appeared

...why do you duplicate the tag waterway=river on every way Because the relation can contain more than simply the waterway. For instance, one could add the riverbank, islets, and slips if one were so inclined. By letting each component way retain an identity of what it is, the relation

[Tagging] Brand vs. Franchise

2013-01-06 Thread dies38061
In an earlier message it was suggested that I use key:brand for a store in a chain. An alternative is to use key:franchise. Key:Brand is (much) more widely used in terms of instances. Key:franchise implies a conservation of business model by franchisees and goes along with a shared brand;

Re: [Tagging] Source tag - deprecated for use on objects?

(Replying to the entire conversation thread) The way I see it: No data about the objects themselves should be in changeset description - changeset should only describe the *change* itself. Because - at least to me, but I do expect to many others as well - it makes the database structure more

I posted the original question/comment and have been testing a switch over to providing source information _only_ on changesets. I posted a followup message which related the source-on-changeset matter to provenance in RDF data .. I think that the source-on-changeset is as valid as and more
