It's mainly/only used in France. France used/uses this schema: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Frodrigo/Relation:Waterway It has been dropped during the voting/unification for the waterway relation definition. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:waterway If you need the graph you can trace the connections. http://www.h-renrew.de/h/osm/osmchecks/07_watershed/fr/hierarchical.htm l But it's easier to use wikidata to build the graph, too. http://www.h-renrew.de/h/osm/osmchecks/07_watershed/fr/wikidata_osm.htm l Just add a wikidata tag to the river and the connection as wikidata property. (mouth of watercourse) Bad side effect of the tributary usage in France: It destroys the wikipeda maps, as you'll always get the basin and not the river: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rh%C3%B4ne --> bad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danube --> nice (look at the map beside the coordinates) HTH Regards Werner _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
