Hi I think this is best:
emergency=phone vs emergency=switch or emergency=alarm this describes clearly the difference between one-way and two-way communication. If you want to be more specific about the service that is alarmed, you could use something like phone=police or switch=fire or alarm=fire (depending on the previous choice) This schema is also compatible with the previous (with just emergency=phone) and you can be more specific if you want. I don't know which one of the two (alarm or switch) is best to use: you phone with a phone but you alarm with a switch. So using alarm or switch is pretty much a free choice. regards, Sander 2011/6/4 John Smith <deltafoxtrot...@gmail.com> > On 4 June 2011 17:44, Martijn van Exel <m...@rtijn.org> wrote: > > On Sat, Jun 4, 2011 at 9:10 AM, John Smith <deltafoxtrot...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> On 4 June 2011 17:02, Martijn van Exel <m...@rtijn.org> wrote: > >>> I don't know of any, but I would go with emergency=phone, and specify > >>> maybe in another tag phone=fire_alarm or some such thing. > >>> The description of emergency=phone includes 'making calls to emergency > >>> services' so it is not necessarily restricted to switches. > >> > >> I didn't see any phone, just appears to have a switch you pull to > >> trigger an alarm. > >> > > I'm sorry, I misunderstood - you're saying *your* fire alarms don't > > have two-way communication. > > emergency=phone is misleading then, as it implies two-way > > communication. emergency=alarm would be my intuitive choice too, then. > > We don't have anything like that here, I was just going off the photo, > it seems from the description it would be an emergency phone for > someone wanting police, but just a dumb switch for fire. > > As for tagging, emergency:police=phone, emergency:fire=switch maybe? > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
