[OSM-talk] Place of worship

[John F. Eldredge]

The landuse=religious seems like a good compromise.  Landuse=institutional seems a bit too generic, as there are so many different types of institutions.

 Amenity=place_of_worship is IMO to be taken literally: it is about
 worshipping (mosque, church, temple, synagogue, ...) and not about
 church as institution and their property.
 
 Looking at your example I agree that it is probably appropriate there,
 because the whole sanctuary is the place of worship (and the single
 churches will then be other pow inside the big one?).
 
 cheers,

Maybe we need a landuse=institutional or landuse=religious to tag these things. I simply applied amenity=place_of_worship to the whole grounds since I couldn't tag the land with anything else remotely appropriate. The Santuario is the whole place and not just the one specific building where services are held.
 
Move the discussion to the tagging mailing list?
