Created page with "In terms of tag usage (keys and values), OGF attempts to stick to the standards and best practices as extensively documented on the http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_P..."

New page

In terms of tag usage (keys and values), OGF attempts to stick to the standards and best practices as extensively documented on the [[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page OSM wiki]].
Below, however we discuss some aspects of tagging that provide additional clarification for use in OpenGeofiction.

The tagging is documented in the OpenStreetMap-Wiki, see [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features English]|[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Map_Features German]|[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Map_Features French], this German [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:How_to_map_a How to map a ...] page is very useful, too.

OpenGeoFiction represents physical features on the ground [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features using standard OSM tags] attached to its basic data structures: nodes, ways and relations.
However, in some cases, OGF might use its own tags to make situations more clear or to simplify maintenance.
These tags can be listed/proposed here.

==Borders==
*To assign territory information (only relation), {{MER-overpquery | name = as used here | search1 = type/boundary | search2 = boundary/administrative | search3 = ogf:id}}
:'''"type" = "boundary" <br>+ "boundary" = "administrative" <br>+ "ogf:id" = ''VALUE'''''

==Shipping lines==
*In order to distinguish international shipping lines from regional ferries I propose to use some additional tags (also to make maintanence more easily)--[[User:Mstr|Mstr]] ([[User talk:Mstr|talk]]) 17:22, 2 May 2020 (CEST)
**train ferry (way): '''"route" = "ferry" + "ferry:type" = "train_ferry"''', {{MER-overpquery | name = discover on map | search1 = route/ferry | search2 = ferry:type/train_ferry}}
**train ferry (relation): '''"type" = "route" + "ferry:type" = "train_ferry"''', {{MER-overpquery | name = discover on map | search1 = type/route | search2 = ferry:type/train_ferry}}
**cruise liner (onyl relation): '''"route" = "ferry" + "shipping:type" = "cruise_liner" + "shipping:flag_state" = ''NAME OF THE COUNTRY''''', {{MER-overpquery | name = discover on map | search1 = type/route | search2 = shipping:type/cruise_liner}}
**cruise liner (onyl relation): '''"route" = "ferry" + "shipping:type" = "cargo" + "shipping:flag_state" = ''NAME OF THE COUNTRY''''', {{MER-overpquery | name = discover on map | search1 = type/route | search2 = shipping:type/cargo}}
*To indicate an international district where everybody is allowed an embassy according [[OGF:Embassies|to the rules]]--[[User:Mstr|Mstr]] ([[User talk:Mstr|talk]]) 17:59, 2 May 2020 (CEST)
**international district (onyl closed way): '''"boundary" = "administrative" + "border_type" = "international_district"''', {{MER-overpquery | name = discover on map | search1 = boundary/administrative | search2 = border_type/international_district}}
*To count population the number of inhabitants can be mapped at every building/street block--[[User:Mstr|Mstr]] ([[User talk:Mstr|talk]]) 14:16, 16 May 2020 (CEST)
**point/way: '''"ogf_count:residents" + ''NUMBER'''''
