Proposal
To define tagging scheme for graves, mainly ones without historic value.
Tagging
| Tagging | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| man_made=grave | mandatory | |
| grave=columbarium/crypt/cenotaph/scatter_site/* | Type of the grave | optional |
| memorial=yes/no/cross/headstone/sculpture/* | Type of the memorial, "yes" value does not specify any type, use "no" if there is no memorial at all | optional |
| subject:name=* | Full name of the buried one presented on a memorial | optional |
| subject:species=human/cat/dog/* | Species of the buried one | "human" by default, mandatory otherwise |
| subject:image=no/photo/engraving/bust/sculpture/* | Type of the visual representation of the buried one on a memorial. Use "no" if no such image is present | optional |
| subject:birth=YYYY-MM-DD/no/yes
grave:death=YYYY-MM-DD/no/yes |
Birth and death dates as they are presented on the memorial. Use "no" if a date is not specified on the memorial. Use "yes" if a date is present on the memorial, but its value is unknown to the mapper | optional |
| subject:wikidata=* | Wikidata link to the buried one if exists. Example: Q30875 | optional |
| cemetery=* | Cemetery name | use only if cemetery can't be extracted by other means (e.g. grave is not inside landuse=cemetery or amenity=grave_yard) |
| religion=* | Religion associated with the grave (add denomination=* tag if possible). Use "no" when there is no such association (e.g. in case of atheist graves). | optional |
| inscription=* | Inscription text as it is presented on the memorial | optional |
| ref=* | Unique reference to the grave inside of the cemetery (this could include reference to cemetery sector) | optional |
| wikidata=* | If the tomb is featured in Wikidata, list the item identifier here. Example: Q12432989 | optional |
Additionally, historic=memorial could be used if the grave has historic value.
This scheme could also be used for memorial "graves", e.g. cenotaphs, scatter sites, etc.
If there is sizable building (e.g. in case of crypt) it's recommended to additionally use building=*.
Multiple burials
In cases when several beings belong to one grave (e.g. mass grave) information about them could be presented by subjectN:* scheme. For example:
man_made=grave
grave=cenotaph
memorial=headstone
subject:name=Mr. Smith
subject:birth=<mr. Smith's date of birth>
subject:death=<mr. Smith's date of death>
subject2:name=Ms. Smith
subject2:birth=<ms. Smith's date of birth>
subject2:death=<ms. Smith's date of death>
If there is a list of buried ones on the memorial, then subject:* should be used for first entry, subject2:* for second and so forth. subjectN:* could be omitted, if Nth element of list is not presented on memorial (e.g. name was erased) or unreadable.
