Every day things are changing here. Besides this, buildings under construction have often already inhabitants. Often they are just building one more floor on top of the existing building. (Think back to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Savar_building_collapse" target="_blank">catastrophe in Rana Plaza</a>, you get buildings ready to collapes anytime by building like this...)

<br>
I will try to answer and Jorieke may refine later on.<br>
<span><br>
> For high (appartment)buildings I assume building=yes?<br>
<br>
</span>OK.<br>
>From the instructions tab: map landmarks, large buildings, not small ones<br>
[tags]<br>
building=yes for rectangular & round buildings - trace the building outline<br>
building=construction for walls without a roof<br>
[note: I assume more refinement are possible as in<br>
building=residential or building=apartments but this is hard to tell<br>
from imagery and not requested in this project]<br>
[note 2: To Jorieke; maybe request additional tag for large buildings<br>
otherwise they will not stand out if small buildings are ever traced.<br>
Maybe height=* or building:levels=* even if it is approximate. Anyway<br>
I think this is valid for any mapping: building=yes/residential +<br>
building:levels=6..8..10..12 + source:building:levels=estimate from<br>
imagery]<br>
[note 3: sometimes in other project, building=construction is not<br>
encouraged because construction seen in imagery may well be finished<br>
by now. So follow instructions project by project]<br>
<br>
<br>
> Trees: natural=tree?<br>
<br>
OK.<br>
from the powerpoint: map BIG trees (because they are landmarks,<br>
significant tree)<br>
[tags]<br>
natural=tree [I assume]<br>
<span><br>
<br>
> But how to do an open area? area=yes?<br>
<br>
</span>No.<br>
from the powerpoint: map open spaces<br>
[tags]<br>
leisure=common [I assume, as usual practice for HOT]<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
