how much distance there is required to be "isolated" depends surely on the cultural context, but how I understand your mail, there is one place, that is the grend, and this place is the hamlets which consists of the single farms. In this case IMHO neither place=farm nor isolated_dwelling would be appropriate. > How to tag Brazillian Fazendas, they are farms that can consits of as > many as 20 buildings, with living barracks for season workers and > factory like buildings for pre-processing of their harvests. I'd suggest that the Brazilians decide this, but I'd probably tag them as Hamlets. Seasonal stuff is generally difficult to tag, but I'm assuming that there live all year long also quite some people, otherwise I'd go for isolated_dwelling. > How to tag Brazillian Sitios, they are small farms or groups of > houses, usually very isolated. depends on what the "group" is, how big, etc. > For the first I would use place=farm on the named farms, making them > part of place=hamlet what do you mean by "making them part of". What about a farm in the city: would you tag it with place=farm? I'd actually not tag anything place=farm, place=mill, etc., but use place for human settlements, and something else for the use (e.g. landuse, building, ...) > The second I would call place=farm, they are not hamlets as often only > one familly live there permanently, though there can be more than 100 > workers in the harvest seasons difficult because of the seasonal aspect, but as it is quite some people, they are probably important enough not to tag them as very small (isolated_dwelling). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
