I was cogitating over night as to whether in the case of multiple establishments it should be the outer boundary that has the 'amenity' tag or the indivitual buildings, or as you flag up, nodes within a single building. If the building is multi-story, with different establishments on each floor, then current rules almost force a separate node 'on-the-top' for each, and amenity=school on the building if there is no outside ground involved? It would be nice if we can define a rule which allows any data mining to correctly pick out the multiple tags? So if there is no ref:edubase on the amenity=school boundary, then there are multiple ref:edubase tags within the area each with it's own name tag. This allows the area to have a name which may not actually appear in edubase. The one that irritates me a little more is the way establishments like Pershore College - which used to be one of the premier horticultural establishments - is now just a campus of a larger group of colleges some of which do not seem to have their own edubase reference. Not sure as yet if the 'Pershore Group of Colleges' listed is actually 'Pershore College' and I've currently added that as an alternate name. It is perhaps too much to expect that the edubase would correctly identify every location ... I have a similar problem with a couple of 'Federated Schools' in the area where teaching takes place in two villages, but there is no actual address listed for the 'satellite', and even from their own websites no directions to it :( For my own reference http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/391197329 - no postal address http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/239765335 - not sure if school is open -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
