In lack of a defined amenity=cabin, I'll start using something like this scheme as my own placeholder. Please take this as a start of a discussion..
amenity=cabin - for a cabin in the mountain/nature (mountain_cabin should be redundant - is it in the mountains, it will be a mountain_cabin :-) access=private (private=yes?) is for when you tag random, privately-owned cabins. They are useful to have on a map, especially if you actually use it for orientation when you're there :) We should tag if there's possibilities for food and lodging. Self-service? In Norway, we have a lot of tourist-association run cabins where you can just go get the key beforehand, use it, and then pay after usage. Some are simple, with no food stored, some have a self-service kitchen. This, I'd like to tag in a way. But gonna think a bit more, as I haven't marked any yet :) But I know people in the local tourist association, so things may happen that way... lodging=yes/no/private (the last one, I intend to use to signify that it's possible to lodge, but it's owned by someone you have to ask first. Could be the tourist association. operator-tag is definitely useful. Then you can find all cabins belonging to a certain tourist association. cafe=yes, restaurant=yes ? A lot of cabins are open for serving daytime. Some only weekends or other occations...(easter holiday?) Thus, we could need cafe_opening_hours and restaurant_opening_hours ? Please improve this one :) But those with only serving of food/drinks, we could just as well tag as amenity=restaurant, amenity=cafe etc. Well. Back to tagging yesterdays mountain-trip. -- - Vegard Engen, member of the first RFC1149 implementation team. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
