Proposal:Network (2009)

This is a proposal for a set of tags and members making a Relation for networks.

A network groups together routes that share common characteristics, e.g. a common operator, a common classification scheme (e.g. E-road network: "E 1", ..., "E 999"), ...

Use cases

• Person A sees a bus route with number 217 and wonders how many other bus routes exist in that city.
• Renderer M wants to render all German motorways using white font on blue sign (official layout), and all E-roads with white font on green sign. This can be implemented by adding rules for 20614 20614 and 20645 20645.
• Renderer M wants to render all cycle routes that belong to the "D-Netz". However, there are a lot of other national cycle routes as well.

Possible members

• Relations of type route
• Relations of type network

Examples

These relations are already in use:

• 18143 18143
• 18463 18463
• 20614 20614
• 20645 20645
• 153968 153968 Camino de Santiago
