recently there is a lot of discussion from newbies(?) here, that seem to propose new tags and tagging schemes for stuff that is already discussed and agreed upon and in widespread use.

Please, if you are not familiar with the tagging, look it up in the wiki or ask for help, but don't continue to propose tags as if we were starting to map just now.

Like it or not (I don't particularly like it myself) the tag for a museum (institution) is tourism=museum and the tag building=* always describes a building typology (save yes/no values) but does itself not describe a function/ service/ institution...

If you want to question these agreements you are free to do so, but please point out that this would be changing the current scheme, which is defined in the wiki, deployed as editor presets, well known to many mappers, evaluated by map renderers and other data consumers, etc.

cheers
