[OSM-talk-be] amenity on relation of widespread nodes

[Marc Gemis]

The wiki clearly describes that the relation=network should be used to
combine routes (walking, bus, ...) together. see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relations/Proposed/Network
This "network" groups together single nodes. That's outside the scope.

>From a database design viewpoint, I understand that one wants to
"normalize" common attributes in a separate table. However, this is not the
way most things are done in OSM. We do not create a network of
Shell-tankstations, McDonalds restaurants or BMW-dealers.

I would contact the mapper and ask him on which basis he thinks that we
should create relations like this.
