Used to document an observation of the current functional status of a mapped feature.

Example

A toilet building that suffered a fire, but will probably be repaired, might be tagged:

Tagging

  • operational_status=operating Facility was observed to be operating and serves its basic function (with no tag this is the default).
  • operational_status=needs_maintenance Facility serves its basic function, but something is broken or missing.
  • operational_status=restricted Facility serves its basic function, but there is some limitation.
  • operational_status=closed Facility does not provide basic functionality and cannot be used at all
  • operational_status=unspecified Same as no tag at all.
  • operational_status:note=* Free form text describing above, should be present in almost all cases.
  • operational_status:date=* Date of last check. Where editor support is available, software will insert current date.

Comparison to other Lifecycle tags

  • operational_status=* for facilities that are intended to remain in operation
  • disused=yes for facilities that have ceased operation, but still exist on the ground
  • disused:oldtag=oldvalue for facilities that have ceased to exist on the ground (e.g. building is a vacant lot). Use this tag when you want to hide the existence of a facility from routing or mapping agents.
  • wetap:status used for water tap mapping
