And again how would you name it if it was just one of multiple recpetions desks for one facility. Facility name => operator=* name=Gate 1? So if the reception has no name then name= stays empty? Do I use the plant name as operator? Or the company name?

In summary .. how to use the name= tag is defined by the name= wiki .. and should not be redefined by this proposal.

------------------- Detail
Is it up to the reception_desk tag to say how to use the name= tag?
The name tag should say how to use it .. and it does... "The common default name." Thinking on it more .. it should be the name given to a visitor by the firm to say where to go, that would be may preference on how to use the name tag. If the reception desks are all the same then there is no point in trying to isolate an individual one by name .. that is done by the location. If they have separate function/s then surely that would be indicated by the name? Hypothetically a conundrum can be posed that has no solution .. but in practice people will overcome impracticalities by naming them differently even if officially they have the same name.

And yes .. if it has no name then don't use the name tag .. same as some roads around here .. they have no name .. and someone has put name=no name on them ... if it has no name don't use the name= tag.. simple? Yes?


For operator look at the operator tag ... http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:operator that also references owner and ownership... and questions on those tag should be answered by looking at the wiki pages on them .. not posing as problems of the reception_desk tag? Who do you put on the building as the operator .. the plant name or the company name ... should be answered on the operator wiki not the building wiki nor the reception desk proposal...
