Categories for office tags #25

Open plepe opened 5 years ago

plepe commented 5 years ago

Until yesterday OpenStreetBrowser completely ignored the "office" key. Now I created an "Offices" category (under "Services"), but I'm not sure about it's usefulness. It would be great to get some input from the community on this.

Many of the tags should actually be included in other categories and I'm not sure what to do with the rest. Maybe you (or others) have some thoughts on this?

Of course we can include the tags in the others and have an additional "office" category anyway.

This are the top 60 values (according to https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/office#values) of the 'office' key:

value suiting category
government Services -> Public
company ?
yes ?
estate_agent ?
insurance ? maybe Services -> Financial
lawyer ?
educational_institution Services -> Education
administrative Services -> Public
telecommunication Services -> Communication
ngo New category "Organisations"
association New category "Organisations"
it Services -> Telecommunication ?
accountant Services -> Financial
employment_agency ?
research Services -> Education
religion Culture and Religion -> Religion
architect ?
financial Services -> Financial
newspaper Services -> Communication ?
physician Services -> Health
therapist Services -> Health
travel_agent Services -> Tourism
political_party New category "Organisations"
advertising_agency ?
tax_advisor Services -> Financial
notary ?
energy_supplier ? maybe Infrastructure -> Energy -> Offices
foundation New category "Organisations"
logistics ?
water_utility ?
coworking ?
forestry
parish Culture and Religion -> Religion
consulting
medical Services -> Health
charity New category "Organisations"
construction_company Infrastructure -> Construction Sites ???
guide Services -> Tourism
property_management
vacant
tax Services -> Public and/or Services -> Financial
moving_company ?
quango New category "Organisations"
camping Services -> Tourism
publisher Services -> Communication
engineering
surveyor
university Services -> Education
cooperative Services -> Financial (not exactly sure what 'cooperative' means, but most used values have somtehing like "Saving and Credit Cooperative" in their name)
taxi Transport -> Public Transportation -> Amenities
real_estate
engineer Infrastructure -> Construction Sites ???
geodesist
transport
podologist Services -> Health
administration Services -> Public
union New category "Organisations"
security
solicitor
property_maintenance

I also have thoughts about "office=yes" - currently it shows "yes" as description for map features of this type. I would like to write "unknown" (resp. its translation) instead. What do you think about that?

So, these are the main questions now:

Hello,

Wow I wont' comment yet all the sixty tags !

I think that first it would be better to begin with the tags from the wiki page >>> https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:office rather than Tag Info.

First we must classify the tags by theme on the model of the "shops" page. This should be clearer. And later also improve the wiki by structuring tags thematically like "shops"

How to tidy up? Perhaps take the example of the category "tourism" divided into different sections But I think there is also an interest in having a category "office" just as we have for "shops" and "craft".

The problem of the categories is that we do not see what is inside (what elements they contain) we must find explicit names. As with "Electric power" ;-)

So here is my thematic classification according to the wiki page in English.

At the end you'll find some additional tags. Some are really "new" but I will use them soon. Some did not exist yet and were really missing I think.

Do you know this web service ? It's very useful to translate words and use the right terminology >>> https://iate.europa.eu

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

So it's just thematic no category priority.

Finances - Insurances - Taxes

office=financial

office=accountant

office=insurance

office=tax office=tax_advisor

Law

office=lawyer office=notary

Social

office=adoption_agency office=charity

Communication - Media - Audiovisual

office=newspaper office=telecommunication

office=advertising_agency

Real estate

office=architect office=estate_agent office=property_management

Education - Employment

office=educational_institution office=employment_agency

Services

office=company

office=energy_supplier office=water_utility

office=travel_agent office=guide

office=logistics office=moving_company

office=private_investigator

office=surveyor

office=therapist

Technic - Computing- Sciences

office=engineer office=it office=research

Administration - Politics

office=government office=political_party

Land

office=forestry office=geodesist

Associations - Foundations

office=association office=ngo office=quango office=foundation

Religion

office=parish office=religion

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

New tags

And a new category (+ new tags) that was missing I think

Business - Management

office=management_consulting office=investment_advisor office=financial_advisor office=credit_broker office=mortgage_broker

new tags in existing category "Communication - Media - Audiovisual"

office=public_relations
office=human_resources

office=communication_agency

office=audiovisual_production
office=film_production

new tags in existing category "Real Estate"

office=real_estate_promoter and synonyms => (office=promoter / office=developer) office=real_estate_broker

I hope this classification will help you to put the elements in the proper category in OpenStreetBrowser.

I hope there is no misunderstanding the above categories are just there to rank the tags. This is not the menu tree of OpenStreetBrowser ;-)

plepe commented 5 years ago

Thanks for your advice, I will come up with something :-)

The newest category update includes some of the suggestions - it's not finished yet, though: https://blog.openstreetbrowser.org/node/63
