[OSM-talk] Suggestions for recycling schema

[Andy Robinson]

This type of extension raises a question about how far the "Map Features"
tagging should go and whether we should start splitting off some features
and attributes beyond those needed for maps and map rendering to separate
sections outside the Map_Features list itself. I can understand the wish to
have a recycling annotation or sign on a map but I can only see that you
would want to know the types of materials recycled if you were making a very
specialist map or if you were using the information outside of a rendered
map (ie information used for other purposes).

I have no problem putting all of this into Map Features, but since I'm
slowly getting around to working up the next version it would be useful to
have feedback. The next version is expected to focus on the primary key
types as a means of indexing so extended lists of keys and values should not
be a problem but for the more casual user and those new to OSM it may be a
bit daunting if the structure is too deep. I'm for keeping the system simple
but with extensibility.

Cheers

Andy
