that's the world upside down. You have to analyse the tags we put on the object (natural=water;water=lake or place=town, etc.). You can query all those tags. Many items do not have detail descriptions via the tags (e.g. just amenity=school and no isced:level), because mappers are not interested, do not know the detail or do not know they can add those details. At this moment I see no interest in something like education 2.0 (available as a rejected proposal on the wiki) which tries to get rid of amenity=school and replace that with a number of tags that breaks up a object representing a school in smaller characteristics. Those pieces together formed a "school". But as said, many mapper do not add details and the proposal would mean they have to add detail or go with something less than school , a place of education. I would not only put a burden on mappers, but also on all dataconsumers that what to provide a simple search for "driving school", because you have to specify x number of characteristics instead of just 1. Over time we will add more information and all schools will have e.g. isced:levels, etc. Perhaps this will still not be enough to differentiate between Lycée and Atheneum, but I question whether OSM alone should be the place to put all this information. I do not believe that OSM should be the place to explain to any researcher what the difference is between Lycée and atheneum. Another database, perhaps Wikidata can be used for that. When OSM and Wikidata are linked in one way or another you could query the combination of databases and group schools in any way you want. m. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
