Right, so it turns out that my randomly chosen one was a complete fluke - in most cases the World Heritage Areas and the National Parks don't have the same boundaries. There is however a proposed tagging scheme for UNESCO World Heritage areas/places, which will obviously be useful. So for tagging, how about something like the following, with follow-up work to check if the other WHAs are National Park boundaries too. name=Purnululu National Park (World Heritage Area) source=environment.gov.au boundary=national_park unesco_world_heritage=yes whc:id=1094 whc:inscription_date=2003 whc:criteria=7;8 environment.gov.au:PLACE_ID=105128 and name=Heard and McDonald Islands World Heritage Area source=environment.gov.au unesco_world_heritage=yes whc:id=557 whc:inscription_date=1997 whc:criteria=8;9 environment.gov.au:PLACE_ID=105142 [0] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/unesco_world_heritage _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
