taginfo: name:network:*

This page describes a key prefix rather than a simple key.

Allows to add name=* for specific network. Useful for tagging public transport e.g. for highway=bus_stop which is used by multiple operators in multiple networks and each one is using different names. Don't use it as a key.

Rationale

The network: part of this prefix prevents conflicts and near-misses with the standard syntax for localized names, such as name:tec=* versus name:TEC=*.

Usage

Use short identifier for the specific network e.g. net2 which can be also provided by network:short=*, then it can be tagged as below:

• highway=bus_stop
• public_transport=platform
• name=First network bus stop name
• network:short=net1;net2
• name:network:net2=Second network bus stop name
• network=First network name;Second network name
