[Tagging] ISCED (2011) tagging for schools

[Robin Burek]

Why not set the isced:level to the 2011-scale as standard and create e.g. a maproulette-challenge to checkup all isced:level (or familar-tags)?

If you take a look at https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=isced, you will see what a patchwork there is, and how many non-numerical values are floating around. In general, it would be a good idea to clean up the mess....

> I invested some time map ISCED (2011) levels to (almost) all swiss school types: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/Map_Features . A group of swiss mappers will potentially add a larger number of ISCED mappings to swiss schools in the near future.

> Further I made the following changes to the Wiki:
>
> - Add a line for Switzerland at wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:isced:level
> - Create wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:isced:level:2011
> - Create wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:isced:level:2011
>
> While working on this, I noticed a comment at wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:isced:level proposing instead the alternative tags

> isced:2011:level=*
> isced:1997:levle=*

> Question 1: Since explicit tagging of ISCED 2011 is generally not very frequent yet, there is IMHO still a chance to make this right. What order of year and level would you prefer?
>
> Question 2: ISCED levels can have 1, 2 or 3 digits. I assume its fine to tag a school with any of these variants, but did not found a corresponding text on the Wiki. Is there a consensus that all three variants are fine on ISCED keys?
>
> Question 3: There seems to be an uncertainity, how schools covering multiple levels shall be tagged. The variants I have seen, are
> - using semicolon
> - using /
> - using - (denoting intervals)
> Shall we try to unify the tagging for this? (This has also some relation to question 2)
>
> Question 4: Could you kindly comment on wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/Map_Features ?
