I have tagged 4 buoys in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) according to the two tagging schemes, if you take a look at this changeset you can see that all the necessary information is repeated several times, just a consequence of two similar-but-different tagging schemes for the same thing. Actually for me (who are a Master Mariner) it looks like the information is repeated 3 times.<br>
<br>We should be able to unify this better, so we end up with one common data model for marine features, the process of making the two datamodels have been almost parallel without knowledge (or the other being ignored) of the each other. I was certainly not aware of the other model until after voting was opened.<br>

I was just about to suggest that they be moved, or visibly tagged, as OpenSeaMap specific, but I see that this has just been done a few days ago which is good. In my humble opinion, but I am not a seaman, trying to follow someone else's ontology is a first in OSM. It has already caused a lot of bad blood in the German community because - and again, I say this as a bystander - certain seamarks seem to ignore that standard, leading to them not being rendered and not properly shown in the editor, leading to OpenSeaMap contributors to actually assign *wrong* tags to them in order to make them show up on OpenSeaMap. I hope that has been fixed meanwhile.<br>
