I wouldn't go that far, but I assume that in 1 country the majority of driving schools have the same system: begin course based, and with a parttime-regime and you can get all common driver licenses.
So for some uses amenity=driving_school is more than sufficient. I understand that when you want to write a world-wide GIS application, you want more structure. You might want to find all course-based institutions. But do we need to place this in OSM ? Should we repeat the same tags for every driving school in a country over and over again ? Can't that be added by the data consumer ? Can't we keep some of the complexity out of OSM and move it a another database ? In this case a dedicated database that can answer all possible questions about schools. Such a database can even be targetted to 1 country and have a specific structure for that country. The main problem is navigation vs. GIS applications For navigation a broad category is sufficient. When you have to drive to a kindergarten you don't care about the religion, you should need it's address (or coordinates). I have a hard time to explain what I really mean, but when I am abroad and I look a a supermarket, I don't know what I can expect there neither: do they sell fresh meat or only prepacked, is it a discount supermarket, is there a service to help me choosing fish, will there be a wine department, etc. Still we have only 1 tag for that in osm: shop=supermarket and don't require mappers to add tags that are obvious for them. They know what they can expect when they see a supermarket of brand X. But for schools (where OSM will be used much less to make a choice), we require all kinds of additional tags which makes it harder to map ? Feel free to continue your proposal, I won't vote anyhow. And keep on using amenity=driving_school. :-) regards m On Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 9:37 AM, Шишкин Александр (Shishkin Ale <kederm...@gmail.com> wrote: > You can probably have tags amenity=driving_school_category_b, > amenity=dancing_teaching_center and other purely descriptional tags and it > would be a mess and headache to sort and retrieve information.
