[Tagging] RFC: historic:civilization and historic:period Re:new key civilization

[Robert Elsenaar]

Certainly not like that. I will  start a new thread to discuss this idea 
more in detail.
I think there's nothing wrong when we try to standardize tags and have a 
moment of retagging when we have a 1:1 substitution.

Probably a good idea Robert.
The main idea of my post was to show Ulf that using the proposed 
civilization
and civilization:period-tags shouldn't be any harder than normally. The 
example
chosen by Ulf was something that probably is dealt with in:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dcastle

and

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Darchaeological_site

and that is where I got the tags, I did not do any own thinking ragarding 
the
off-topic-tags.

Both of the wiki-pages above have plenty of.._type. Maybe a suggestion from 
you
on the discussion-page would come in handy.

If you look closely on my post, you can see that I had an alternative 
tagging
with tripple subtags:

historic:civilization:period:bronze age

and even another alternative with quadruple tagging

historic:civilization:Celtic:period:bronze age

I haven´t got the idea yet, but guess it isn´t supposed to be like that.
