[Talk-ca] Crowdsourcing buildings with Statistics Canada

Wed Aug 3 14:40:46 UTC 2016

We could use only a selection of tags. In the form in the interface we will use, it could be just residential and apartments not be in the choices.

We will use the tags reserved for buildings. As John mentioned, malls can have just a few tags and then there are these shops and amenities floating at the same address. Could we have the building and the tags shops, offices, amenities attached to them?

building=apartments should also be considered residential if not they are tagged as offices. There is going to have to be grouping of some tags for residential, commercial and industrial buildings to get a full tally

Yeah, terrace homes, duplexes, triplexes, condos may all have unique civic addresses. Apartments may have the the same civic address but also includes an apartment no which needs to be mapped differently then just assigning a address to a building(you are now getting into entraces and addr:flats) example of a terrace home: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2688375179 and http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/262705861  this is the way they are doing it in the UK (after many hours in IRC asking how to properly map them)

How many buildings are tagged with a building tag or is that step one tag building with the building tag and type?

How do we handle a shopping mall with a building outline and a nodes for the stores?

Thanks John

Here is a list of the building types:

Hello everyone,

Here is what we would invite Canadians to tell us about buildings for OSM:

name
Address:
·         Number
·         street
·         city
·         postal code
levels
office, shop
type of access (handicap, etc.)

If there is a way to categorize them as residential, non-residential that would be perfect.

What do you think? Anything else we should add?
