We should propose to tag the height as well. There are not so many ancient egyptian obelisks in the world (actually most of them are in Rome, and there are "only" 13 pieces). I suggest height for the overall height (including the base and eventual additions to the top) above ground ( so you get the height of the top by adding ele and height). and obelisk:height for the net height of the obelisk itself we can also think about obelisk:material and obelisk:weight (this is usually known due to the general interest in these pieces). Has there been a conclusion on which "main" tag to use? Who is against man_made and who is against historic? Actually I am against subtagging them as columns (IMHO they don't qualify, a column can't have a pointed top). There is another idea in conjunction with this I want to ask you about: what about creating a node on the original place where the obelisk was erected and create a relation between the actual place and the former one? This should be generally doable for the ancient obelisks (I guess the places are known). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
