Hi,

here's another OSM file generated from the Health Facilities Master list
http://www.guggis.ch/haiti/HaitiHealthFacilities_Master.osm

It includes more attributes than the list posted earlier. **Do not 
import this file automatically, though**. We should first agree on the 
set of OSM tags to be used and how the attributes in the master list are 
mapped onto them.

What is the status of
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags#Humanitarian_Data_Model_1.6_.28these_will_be_mapped_to_OSM_tagging.29 

in particular in comparision with
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags#Draft_Ontology_for_healthcare_facilities

Which of the two tagging schemes is more stable?

Regards
Karl
