Hi Marion,

I usually just search in the search box of wiki.openstreetmap.org when I don't know a tag.
doctors leads to : amenity=doctors
Dental to : amenity=dentist
Optometrists to : shop=optician
...

browsing the map_features page can also give ideas
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features

Also keep in mind that pois are sometimes already there on areas or buildings, and do not always need to be on nodes.

Cheers,

Totor

Hello I am new to this group. I am currently personlly surveying health facilities in the Cebu, Mandaue and Consolacion area of Cebu Province for my own needs. I am a newbie at adding points to the database. I have come across some of the following different types of places both public and private:
Doctor offices
Dental offices
OptometristsPrivate clinics with and without emergency facilities
Public clinics with and without
 emergency facilitiesHospitalsTreatment centersBirthing Centers
Diagnostic test centers
Health care training facilities and schools
I am sure this is not an exhaustive list. What I need to know is how should each be identified on the map. What codes should I use to enter each one. I have only been using the simplest methods so far but I think it is important to differentiate to help the user find what they need. I would like to discuss this with someone very knowledgeable in this area before starting to enter the data. Please contact me here.
