<p>Am browsing the CWGC website as I write, looking at my locality.<br>
</p>
<p>Clearly landuse=cemetery is the principal tag for the typical
CWGC cemetery - dedicated to military with rows of the fallen.</p>
<p>There is a proposal for cemetary=sector which appears to have
failed.<br>
</p>
<p>CWGC is showing in my locality > 20 locations where there are
CWGC casualties, most are in local cemeteries and graveyards.
Quantity of graves is from 1 upwards.</p>
<p>Nationality of the interred also may be important - there may be
very many commonwealth nationalities in one location.</p>
<p>If we generate a tag schema it clearly needs to be applicable to
other grave organisations - e.g. German War Graves Commission - <i
title="German language text" lang="de">Volksbund Deutsche
Kriegsgräberfürsorge</i> in German. <br>
</p>
<p>Will we use abbreviation or the full name? <br>
</p>
<p>What about a cemetery with multiple organisations graves? (I've
seen some)<br>
</p>
<p>URL's to the parent site - CWGC - there could be several in one
cemetary.<br>

How is it suggested to tag "there are commonwealth war graves
here"?
<br>
<br>
At least near me, there's usually a fairly large white on green
sign near the entrance, so even if it's not something you'd
explicitly go out to map, it's often something that you'd notice.

Thanks for finding that so quickly

<blockquote type="cite">Daniel, what is actually being proposed
to be added to OSM? Is it a list

of CWG cemeteries that could then be checked against the data

perhaps

something similar could be done to find missing CWG

Please see the CWGC and TracesOfWar lists on this page:

They simply have the name of the cemetery or monument, the
latitude and
<br>
the longitude
<br>
<br>
CWGC has 20,000 records, TracesOfWar has 120,000 records
<br>
<br>
AWM also has about 14,000 records for places but they are not in
the
<br>
IPFS world yet.
