Hello, Said simply, we are looking for the following:
* Building type (residential, commercial, industrial, school, farm, etc.) * Building name * Address * Use (this is similar to type but I understand that there needs to be an attribute to capture stuff like office=government) * Wheelchair access I have looked at the tags structure and it doesn't look too complicated. One discussion we had was about two options. The first was to define the building and have all shops and amenities brought under the building. This is not how it's done on OSM. There are markers to identify those. The feeling at first was that this is a good idea so they all have the common address and location of the building and everything there is associated to the building. The sentiment has changed about this, however. The way it's done now seems preferable: buildings and info about them with businesses and amenities as markers with their own info so basically not changing how it's done. We have compared with other larger cities and this seems to be the way everyone is doing it anyway Bjenk Ellefsen, PhD Data Exploration and Integration Lab (DEIL) | Lab pour l'exploration et l'intégration de données (LEID) Center for Special Business Projects | Centre des Projets Spéciaux sur les entreprises Statistics Canada | Statistique Canada (343) 998-3004 (Ottawa / Gatineau)
