Subject: RE: [Tagging] Best practices for creating a categorical key=value

Thank you all,
First, I used office=construction_company because it's the only related tag in 
the wiki (Key:office). Second, precast_concrete was just an example to 
illustrate the level of detail I want to provide. As I have dozens of different 
cases, I just want to create tags appropriately.

In the actual case I illustrated, the construction company fabricates and 
installs pillars, beams, etc. for large buildings and bridges. So there are 
many large buildings involved where man_made=works + product=precast_concrete 
can be used. However, in my case, I want to identify the location of the main 
office and add information such as name=*, phone=* and addr:*=. So a node with 
office=* seems more adequate.

A special thanks to Kasper, the links you provided are going to be very helpful!

Cheers
Daniel

Hello. I suggest that you have a good look at the following pages:

Going through a proposal process isn't always necessary; you can just document 
your tag and give it the status "in use".

For this specific case I recommend using the tags office=company + 
company=construction, which are already documented:

Personally I wouldn't tag on the office that a company specifically trades 
precast concrete.
This information fits better on a man_made=works as product=*, on the location 
where it is produced.
