[Tagging] graves and relations

[osm.tagging at thorsten.engler.id.au]

Relations don’t always directly describe geospatial objects.

They often describe concepts which are related to geospatial objects (the members).

 

As such, a type=person relation, with member roles like birthplace, gravesite, mentioned, designed_by (relating architects and buildings), … might be appropriate.

 

Cheers,

Thorsten

I can't really see a person as a mappable geographical object. 

Seems to me you are looking for a way to tag an object with a (long) value list. AFAIK this does not exist in OSM. Might be a valuable addition, though. The semicolon sepated list in one attribute value is very limited.

https://limerick1916.ul.ie/the-1916-memorial/ mentions the following men

Edward Daly - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3321092

Con Colbert - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3321067

"Inscribed on another plaque are the names of the 16 men who were
executed during May 1916". All 16 have wikidata or wikipedia entries:
