Martin, for your information there was a bit of work done on this sort of thing in the past for Aussie parks covered by this, based on data from http://data.australia.gov.au I think.

The oldest is this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/unesco_world_heritage suggesting historic=unesco_world_heritage actually I'd like to deprecate this because using the key historic will create collisions on many features (that are historic themselves, like historic=archeological_site), and there is the more detailed (2) covering the same features. 2. There is also this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/heritage The page suggests to use abbreviations as values, which is not according to our general tagging rules (and IMHO pointless, why not use the full word and get a more understandable mapping?). But there are some useful ideas for subtags on the page. 3. The most universal feature is IMHO this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area allowing for cultural, natural and other protection types. A problem might arise if a feature is at the same time protected for different reasons. IMHO we could try to unify those different proposals. Are there already practical experiences / tags in wider use? Are there other proposals covering the same issues? cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list tagg...@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
