<div dir="ltr">We do have a workable tagging scheme for registered historic features with identified protection agencies.<div><br></div><div>The nearest such feature to me that I've spotted on the map is <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/303681142">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/303681142</a> - a listed historic building.</div><div><br></div><div>Unsurprisingly, it's tagged `historic=building`. It's also tagged `heritage=2` (protected at admin_level=2, that is, by a national authority); `heritage:operator=nrhp` (US National Register of Historic Places - `nrhp` is the local convention for buildings so listed); `ref:nrhp=10000482` (the reference number), and with `wikidata` and `wikipedia` links for further information. </div><div><br></div><div>Another one is <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/429545226">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/429545226</a>. This one is the entire farm, rather than just a building. Once again it's `heritage=2` (protected by a national authority), but this time the `heritage:operator` is `nhi` (National Historic Landmark). Once again there a reference number `ref:nhl=72000840`, and this time, the record is searchable, so there's a `url:nhl` as well, which links to an extensive dossier regarding the property and its significance, as well as a `website` link for the site's own web site, and `wikidata` and `wikipedia`.</div><div><br></div><div>It strikes me that "National Register of Historic Places" and "National Historic Landmark" are rather parallel to 'sites inscrits' and 'sites classés'. (Different protections, NHL is stronger [and National Monument would be stronger still, but the last implies that the National Park Service owns and operates the facility]).</div><div><br></div><div>I know that I've mapped some sites where the `heritage` is 4 rather than 2, because they're protected at state level rather than Federal. There are some sites that are double protected: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6502105">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6502105</a> is one that's both National Historic Landmark and State Historic Site, with links for both.<br><br></div><div>'Regional natural park of Camargue' sounds like a combination of `leisure=nature_reserve` and `operator="Parcs naturaux régionnnaux de Camargue"` or whatever the formal title is, possibly with the appropriate combination of `boundary=protected_area` and `protect_class`. </div><div><br></div><div>Locally to me, natural areas are a whole patchwork of different things managed by different agencies, and `owner` and `operator` are often the only way to sort them out. A typical situation is <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4836454">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4836454</a> (which is owned and managed by an NGO), <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6367671">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6367671</a> (State Wildlife Management Area) and <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6378234">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6378234</a> (State Forest), plus, a short way away, <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11921276">https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11921276</a> (natural area owned and operated by a township (admin_level=7). I'll concede that some of these could be better tagged and linked. At the time I mapped them, getting them mapped in the first place was the top priority, and I always seem to have more pressing mapping tasks. (It comes of living in a country with such low population density outside the major cities.)</div><div><br></div><div>I haven't tried to symbolize many of these with emblems on a map, and I certainly wouldn't try in Europe; my understanding is that in Europe, many of the symbols representing the protection status are subject to trademark law, and unauthorized use, even nominative use on a map, may be unlawful. </div><div><br></div><div>Not knowing the legalities with respect to the trademark is one reason, for instance, that I've refrained from placing the distinctive icon of the Long Path (an important regional hiking route near me) <a href="https://blog-tw.nynjtc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Long-path-race-series-2.jpg">https://blog-tw.nynjtc.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Long-path-race-series-2.jpg</a> on rendered maps. I'm fairly sure that my use would be protected as a nominative use, but 'fairly sure' isn't good enough for OSM's practices.
