Re: [Tagging] how to map soft story/soft storey buildings properly?

Yeah... you're right... "/Buildings are classified as having a "soft story" if that level is less than 70% as stiff as the floor immediately above it, or less than 80% as stiff as the average stiffness of the three floors above it./" [1] hard to eyeball that... But the key would be right for

Re: [Tagging] how to map soft story/soft storey buildings properly?

Is "soft storey" something that is officially declared, or would it only be based on an individual mappers opinion? As it refers to the possibly enhanced danger of a building collapsing during an earthquake, are we leaving ourselves open to potential complaints from a building owner that we have

Re: [Tagging] Benefits of namespaces

Hello, You are mixing correct namespacing (like railway:switch) with... mistaken namespacing (like hydrant:position). Now, for the reasons for namespacing and just as an example (/it is not the only good reason.../), think about documentation: the documentation for describing a power switch

[Tagging] Benefits of namespaces

Hi Interesting thread about namespacing in tag names. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Pipeline_valves_proposal#Use_namespace_or_not Spoiler: no consensus shows up at the end. I still think that actuator=* is better than two pipeline:valve:actuator=* and

Re: [Tagging] how to map soft story/soft storey buildings properly?

For what is worth, it sounds good to me. If you want to be even more precise and "/taxonomist/-minded", it could be building:structure:soft_storey=yes/no (/no being the default value/). Sergio On 2018-12-17 00:42, Stefano Maffulli wrote: > So far, building:soft_storey:y/n seems to be the

Re: [Tagging] Building names, historical/original owner?

generally, setting a „name“ seems obvious, additionally you could add some historic=* tag. For the heritage status there is documentation of the schemes here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:heritage Cheers, Martin ___ Tagging mailing list
