I made a proposal page at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Awards_and_ratings with the proposed tagging award:<award_system>=<award_value> It seems general enough to handle most cases.
##Key:stars There is already a tagging-scheme in use for tagging hotels star-rating, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stars stars=<number_of_stars> It would be nnice if the proposed awards:-scheme could somehow be an extension of the existing stars-scheme. One limitation to the stars-scheme is that it´isn´t clear what kind of award- system or scale that the stars are relating to. In many cases this would be pretty straigth forward, if there is an "established" system in acountry for instance.And if it isn´t clear one could add some kind of source-info. The only real limtiation would be if there of some reason are more than one award system that is relevant to a feature and someone feels the need to tag both (not a pressing matter so far, I should think). A possible extension of the existing could be stars:<award_system>=<number_of_stars> that way the prefix stars: works the same way as a prefix award:. I think it easy to understand and maybe award: could be used for all awards: except those common ones that have stars (or similar) as unit? ##<award_value> a question for the proposal is how to tag the value of the tag. should it be award:<award_system>=3 stars award:<award_system>=3_stars award:<award_system>=3stars award:<award_system>=3 I have noticed that units often are kept out of the values, for me it would come natural to write award:<award_system_name>:<award_system_unit>=3 award:<award_system_name>:stars=3 (but it is probably just an attempt to get the two schemes closer to each other) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
