The main area is the area where all the bigger buildings of the mine are. An airshaft could be a single node outside of this area and that's why a polygon can not express that the mineshaft is part of the mine. But perhaps you meant something different with polygon. > or the company provides you the information, > or you work there. That's anyway not a problem to discuss: > either you have the info and put it or you don't and will > most likely not put it. You almost always know the name of the mine. But it is too complicated to create a relation for the mineshaft, to assosiate it with that mine - escpecially when only the mineshaft is mapped. > sure, just put name=<name_of_the_mine> like for > any other feature. A problem might arise if the > mineshaft has a name itself and/or if there is more > than one mineshaft. In these cases I'd still opt for the relation. All mineshafts i know have their own name. That's why you cannot use the name-tag for the name of the mine. So at the moment there are: name -> name of the mineshaft itself mine -> name of the mine which the mineshaft is part of operator -> name of the operator of the mine lesi _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
