<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">My understanding is that you only add another term to the key name (ref=* --> ref:isil=*) if it is highly likely that some other ID or coding system has a higher priority for the basic ref=* tag.<br>
<br>For example, I think each World Heritage Site has an assigned reference code by UNESCO. For example, Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park has the reference code 653bis[1], but we should probably not tag it as ref=653bis because the national park may have its own coding system in the Philippine Government. So the tag could be ref:whc=653bis as proposed[2].<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">On the other hand, we have many basic ref=* keys such as:<br><br>- int_ref=* (international)<br>- nat_ref=* (national)<br>- reg_ref=* (regional)<br>- loc_ref=* (local)<br>- etc.<br><br>So we could also tag Tubbataha as int_ref=653bis.<br>
</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>Basically, as I understand it, adding another term to the key name is only done as a last resort. The only advantage I can see with using ref:doh=* is that its meaning is easier to understand. But that can be easily addressed with proper PH tag documentation in the OSM Wiki.<br>

</div>Sure! I actually tested that yesterday<br>
(<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/54025002" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/54025002</a>).<br>
I have to correct my tagging and also remove the zeroes.<br>
<br>
>From the wiki (<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref</a>), the ref<br>
tag is used in various ways by adding namespace. Should we used<br>
ref:doh=504 like the isil ref<br>
