Hello list, I am happy to announce that there is a new tag approved for the OpenStreetMap to store free text about an object that is relevant for disabled persons.
The tags are blind:description:lg wheelchair:description:lg and deaf:description:lg where "lg" is the two letter code for the language in which the text is written. For instance you can inform deaf people about subtitles in cinemas, you can inform hearing impaired about functionality in theatres and churches how to use the hearing device, you can inform blind people about overhead dangers or audiodescriptions, you can inform wheelchair drivers about the door width of an elevator and many more things that just don't fit in a tag. You find the proposal and voting on this page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/DisabilityDescription Regards Lulu-Ann _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
