This is exactly where agreement on just which tags mean what is essential. If we are looking for all schools in a town we want a list of single entries! We don't want to be guessing if two entries with similar names are actually the same school :( Or if a town has 10 or 20 schools based on the returned data. > Ideally I'd have building=school areas, but it is rarely possible to get > the shapes on the ground, and Yahoo satellite imagery is a luxury > reserved for particular urban areas (someone has carefully done this for > the Cambridge colleges, which looks great). And as far as I can see data wise we get a list of collages with single entries for each. But starting from a single node POI and then changing to an area is a logical progression. If the original node is supplying some information missing from the area then THAT needs to be addressed, but if the new area is just enhancing the information, loosing the node should not be a problem? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://home.lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://home.lsces.co.uk MEDW - http://home.lsces.co.uk/ModelEngineersDigitalWorkshop/ Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
