I hadn't seen that proposal - I agree it would be good to have a world-wide scheme, but I am concerned that we could potentially end up with different tagging schemes here...and I know how unpopular it would be to 'correct' them electronically in the future.... As far as I can tell there is: 1. The proposed culture= (no wiki page for it yet other than http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Fradeve11/prove2 2. historic:civilization= - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:historic:civilization I started a wiki page to record how British historical sites are tagged ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Historic_Britain) - It would be good to update that with the proposal - the main thing that is missing from it is a list of 'cultures' or 'civilizations' that we can all use. Neither culture nor historic:civilization are that well used, but there are more historic:civilization entries (see http://taginfo.osm.org). What I intend to do with my map is to have different layers for different cultures/civilizations so that you can see all roman features, or all cold war relics etc. Regards Graham. -- Graham Jones Hartlepool, UK.
