Hi all,<br><br>I have 3 areas to look at<br><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59586888">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59586888</a><br><br><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59584575">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59584575</a><br>
<br><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59584574">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59584574</a><br><br>Yan Morin went ahead and the the conversion of the whole set, based on the rules that are listed here<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase/Canadian_Aboriginal_Lands">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase/Canadian_Aboriginal_Lands</a><br><br>And so, based on the discussions & thinking about it a bit, the solution i came up with seems to solve everyones concernes (almost everyone's) .. since we cant please everyone :)<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Daboriginal_lands#Discussions">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Daboriginal_lands#Discussions</a><br><br>It's pritty easy to re-convert the dataset for different tags. So im looking to see if there are better options. ("i dont like it" isn't an answer) :) <br>
<br>Here's an example, of how i want to tag all of them.<br><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.1307&lon=-125.89699&zoom=17&layers=0B00FTF">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=49.1307&lon=-125.89699&zoom=17&layers=0B00FTF</a><br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59588054">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/59588054</a><br><br>**** from wiki<br><br><p>With some time to think about it, this tag proposal page should be
changed to <tt style="background-color: rgb(224, 224, 240); white-space: pre;" dir="ltr"><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:boundary:type&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Key:boundary:type (page does not exist)">boundary:type</a>=<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:boundary:type%3Daboriginal_lands&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Tag:boundary:type=aboriginal lands (page does not
exist)">aboriginal_lands</a></tt>. Here's why:

free" title="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/58942854">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/58942854</a>
</dd></dl>
<dl><dd><dl><dd><tt style="background-color: rgb(224, 224, 240); white-space: pre;" dir="ltr"><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:admin_level" title="Key:admin level" class="mw-redirect">admin_level</a>=<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:admin_level%3D4" title="Tag:admin level=4" class="mw-redirect">4</a></tt> -- because it
has its own jurisdiction which is similar to a 'state/province' level,
where it is still within a country (generally) more times than not.
There are special cases (just like countries that are in transition
& dispute). In some countries there are signed agreements with
members of each group.

it clearly defines the fact that it is like a State/Province
jurisdiction and more clearly defines the admin_level, where
admin_level=4 could be used for <tt style="background-color: rgb(224, 224, 240); white-space: pre;" dir="ltr"><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:boundary" title="Key:boundary">boundary</a>=<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dnational_park" title="Tag:boundary=national park">national_park</a></tt> <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/40060616" class="external

this is an 'administrative' boundary. Where it's known, and sometimes
signed, as it would be trespassing if there is no implied visiting
(there is no security check to go/through the area)

-- in OSM, both the landuse and drawing the actual property line is
used interchangeably. In this case. the default landuse would be the
fact that the whole are is a reserve. When more details are known,
these can also be mapped; Listing the physical environment, such as
'natural=wood' natural=grass natural=water.
