[Tagging] creameries

[Anne-Karoline Distel]

"we map what's present" - is that current use? What if it's vacant? Do
we map what we see or what the locals see, i.e. "That looks like an
interesting building, what is it?" - "Oh, that's the old creamery, but
it closed in 1975." Do you tag that as building=yes or
building=industrial or whatever the outcome of this discussion will be?
