<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>A long discussion with multiple ideas given is currently taking place about power poles and hosted features on the talk feed of the Substation refinement proposal.<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Substation_refinement#Transformer_type">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/Substation_refinement#Transformer_type</a><br><br></div>
As explained in proposal/talk/previous mails, since both poles / towers and transformers are values of the power=* tag, we can't put them together when a transformer is a the top of a pole.<br><br></div>Many tricks promote some extra tags like power=pole + transformer=distribution (power=transformer is here implicit) but they sound like tricks to me.<br>
<br></div>Another possibility would be to deprecate power=pole and power=tower and use man_made=pole and man_made=tower+tower:type=power<br></div>It would allow us to have nodes with man_made=pole + power=transformer or any other hosted feature.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>A transformer has more to share with power domain than the pole itself (which only is a man made building in landscape).<br></div><div><br></div>I'm aware that there are currently a very big amount of features tagged with power=pole or power=tower. Nevertheless it's more consistent than the model we are using now, which wasn't designed to take transformer or such detailed feature in account.<br>
<br><br></div><div>Let's talk about that....<br><br></div><div>Cheers.<br></div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br><br clear="all"><div><b>François Lacombe</b><br><br>francois dot lacombe At telecom-bretagne dot eu<br>
