plepe / OpenStreetBrowser

An application to ‘browse’ the information in the displayed part of the map. Similar to common Wikis and also the main page of http://www.openstreetmap.org the website shows a narrow menu on the left side, most of the page is used for the display of the map. In contrast to most Wikis the menu is not static, but rather the content of the map can be browsed in categories. For the map a special style has been developed (sorry guys, I neither like the default Mapnik nor Osmarender styles), and special overlays are displayed to support the current browsed categories. When you click on an object (either from the list or directly on the map) informations on this object are displayed.

Classification #86

A few comments about classification

1/ Tourist information panels (see board and board_type ) shouldn't be in "Services > Tourism" menu as they are not exactly services. I think they should be in "Culture and Religion > Tourism" It makes more sense to me.

2/ In "Services > Communication" I see "post box" and other things mixed with some "offices" (newspaper, publisher or company from the ICT sector,...) I think I understood what you wanted to do: use "communication" as a thematic In my opinion it doesn't work well.

Perhaps you can create some sub categories in Offices. Examples : Communication :

Audiovisual :

Press / Edition :

And so on .... We've talked about that >>> https://github.com/plepe/openstreetbrowser-categories-main/issues/25#issuecomment-443533781

And I think that "Law" and "Financial" should be in "Services > Offices" too

Hi! Late to answer, but at least now I'm doing some work on the categories ...

1) Do you think, I should remove all/most of tourism=information from the category? I think it would make sense to create a category 'information' under 'culture and religion' with all these things (sign posts, maps, information boards, ...).

I would keep information=office in services though (because usually you can buy tickets there, ...). Also maybe information=terminal?

I found this thread where my wish fits more or less: Could board_type=history be added to the History-Category? I created the query to check: https://www.openstreetbrowser.org/#map=15/48.2078/16.3682&categories=nielkrokodil/history_boards/history_boards

Thanks for your comment. I designed the history-category to include historic objects, e.g. castles, etc. So I think, that board_type=history would not fit this category. I think, they fit into the tourism category. Maybe I should include all boards in the tourism category within the culture and religion parent-category too?

Nielkrokodil commented 3 years ago

Yes, with this definition it does not fit in there.

boards are now shown in Dienste->Tourismus, together with all guideposts. I like your idea to move the boards away from the "Dienste-Tourismus" to "Kultur und Religion-Tourismus".

Another thing about boards: There is the tag "board:title" which fits most of the time better than "name". See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:board:title It would be nice, if this tag is used instead of showing "Namenlos".
