I would like to know your opinion.</div><div><br></div><div>1) There is landuse=cemetery and amenity-grave_yard. Could someone explain the difference please? Is it that graveyard is always at a place of worship territory? I find it quite confusing: most big cemeteries in Moscow have started as such graveyards, but are now much more known than those old churches or monasteries (which may even be non-functional by now). Also, at every cemetery, there is a place of worship. But its only purpose is often to hold a burial service at that cemetery.</div><div><br></div><div>2) For large cemeteries, mapping of sections/sectors is essential for the map to be of any use. There is a proposal for this <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Cemetery_sector" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Cemetery_sector</a>, but it seems to be abandoned. I would restart it, but I have a doubt: do we want a specific cemetery-related tag only? I would rather introduce something like a "section" that could be used elsewhere too (e.g. for a large parking, beach, etc.) The fact that it's a cemetery section can be derived from geometry.</div><div><br></div><div>3) A good alternative could be a subtag:</div><div>cemetery:section=xxx,</div><div>where I would make xxx the name of the section (aka ref and name).</div><div><br></div><div>4) Ref seems to be a good tagging for the cemetery section number, but it doesn't show up on the map, unlike the "name" (e.g. <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/345082198" target="_blank">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/345082198</a>). Is ref still a preferred tag?</div><div><br></div><div>5) Is it more correct to use "section" or "sector" for cemeteries? The proposal is for "sector" but I think it should actually be "section".</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>Kotya</div></div>
