All kinds of information is packed in those names. I am not doing any cleaning (yet) until all this information can be stored in proper tags and is handled or scheduled by significant renderers/data users/tools. There must be reasons for this (ab)use, because it is done all over the globe. <br></div><div><div><div><br></div><div>It's very common to store <from>-<to> and sometimes <via> in the name tag. That's an easy one: we have from=*, via=*, to=*. <br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Sometimes a complete description, a comment or a note (.e.g. about a temporary detour) is added to the name. Easy: we have description=, note=*, comment=*. <br></div><div><br></div><div>A ref in the name: store in ref=*.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Another item is <b>section number</b>. This is often used when the route is split in sections, often according to the sectioning given by the operator/website. So firstly it's a sort of reference, secondly its an ordering and sorting mechanism. <br></div><div>Sometimes sections have their own name. I see that a lot in international (super)routes. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Any ideas how to do this without (ab)using the name tag? Is there a proper tag that springs to mind, or should we invent one?<br></div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr">Peter Elderson<br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div>_______________________________________________<br></div><div> Tagging mailing list<br></div><div> <a target="_blank" href="mailto:Tagging@openstreetmap.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tagging@openstreetmap.org</a><br></div><div> <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging</a><br></div></blockquote></div></blockquote> </body>
