Hi all,
some days ago I add to building's material wiki page, some attributes
that I think would be usefull to calculate some things in case of
earthquakes or flood emergencies. Also, could be usefull for some other
things, like a census about rural housing materials, or some other
activities from ngos or governmental officers like Housing and
Sanitation Ministry in Peru, for example.
In wiki page about materials I added two tags about materials for
buildings made from mud: "adobe" and "rammed earth" ("tapial" in
spanish).
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:material
Now, I have some doubts to share with you about wiki page
"building:material". This page it's describe as values to tag building's
"facade" and I think a wiki page for material strecuture of buildings is
needed, maybe "key:material" is the wiki page I don't be sure...
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building:material
In ID, as value for buildings:material appears "mud", but mud is the
value for "natural" tag, natural=mud
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dmud
For "roof:material" I added the value "palm_leaves" for this type of
roof, very common in amazonian region, and others tropical places.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:roof:material
So, I wanted to open this thread to share with you these issues and know
what do you think about it. And, if you have other better ways to
tagging materials of buildings, I linke to know them.
Do you know how it is possible to add these values as presets in ID
editor?
Thanks for your attention!
Regards!
