Description

Relation to group elements related to person such as a date of birth, date of death, short description, specialty, etc. This kind of relation should be related with geographical object like grave, tomb, memorial etc.

Designation

The main purpose of this type=person relation is to link (bind) different objects describing a person in the data base (such as grave, memorial place). That kind of relation is meant to describe dead persons.

Note
For a living people that kind of relations should be created only if it is reasonable. Let's assume that good reason for creating that relations is "encyclopedity", that means existing of article about a person on Wikipedia.

Elements

  • type=person
  • name=<FirstName_LastName> - (e.g. name=Abraham Lincoln)
  • wikipedia=<article - (e.g. wikipedia=Abraham Lincoln)
  • born=<date of birth> - (use format YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 1920-11-30)
  • died=<date of death> - (use format YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. 2010-12-12)
  • description=<short_description> - a brief description of person, e.g. poet,King,mayor,Father,25 President ... (e.g. description=Poet, Painter)
  • religion=<religion> - e.g religion=christian (religion of the deceased, but the cemetery).
  • denomination=<denomination> - e.g. denomination=roman_catholic (denomination of the deceased, but the cemetery).

Role

You can add members to the relevant "roles" to the relation person

tomb (node/way) - grave, tomb, crypt, mausoleum

memorial (node/way) - a monument or memorial plaque set in the wall

Optional role

birthplace (node/way) - place of birth such as a house or city

deathplace (node/way) - place of death such as a house or city

child - descendant

parent

partner - husband / wife / cohabitant / lover

patronage (node/way/relacja) - deceased person having the patron

Example

For the mass grave

  • I approve this proposal I approve this proposal. Good relation for find all places connected with specific person. Also I can find here a lot of stupid oppose votes. We are mapping lamp, bench but we can not map cementry? Why? This relation is not for building genealogy but for assigning person names for ex. tombs. What is wrong with you guys?

  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. OSM is not the appriopriate project for that. To collect this, you can use the "name:wikipedia" tag and query the database with e.g. Overpass_API. --Pieren (talk) 10:13, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. Wikidata is already storing these kinds of relationships. Let's concentrate on the geographic component in OSM and refer to Wikidata where applicable. --Polyglot (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal.. Wikidata is more appropriate than OSM for this type of data. The knife (talk) 10:38, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. for the same reasons as above. What might(!) make sense: a tag (not a relation) that is put on OSM objects to describe the link to a person (e.g. person:built_by=xxx, person:tomb=xxx, ...), whereby the link itself should point to wikipedia or wikidata. Disclaimer: this is just a quick thought, so it most certainly is utterly useless. --Imagic (talk) 10:44, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. this is not real geographical data, already available in wikidata, and easy to extract all the items with a wikipedia=XXX tag ! Ecologeek (talk) 11:23, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. The usecase is too wide, OSM is not a genealogy db. The tombstone/memorial roles and name/wikipedia tags are the only ones that make sense. Maternity wards and war memorials belonging to 100s of relations would be a big problem. Vincent De Phily (talk) 12:59, 13 October 2014 (UTC) I would approve the proposal if it was restricted to tombs and memorials. Vincent De Phily (talk) 13:24, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. Tagging the name and inscription on individual tombstones is one thing, but a relation to include lots of other places they ever went in their lifetime seems irrelevant to mapping the world. EdLoach (talk) 13:07, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Changed my mind, I blank vote (Mean I'm interested in discussion about it, but it neither is a yes or a no). I wich there was more discussions expressing what are alternatives, what it will solve and doing that before starting a vote. sletuffe (talk) 13:49, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I approve this proposal I approve this proposal. It has been created to describe the graves. All information in type:person relation come from the grave, which is very real thing. Zbigniew Czernik (talk) 15:34, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. Actual information on the tomb can be already mapped, the buried person should be referenced to Wikidata --Sarchittuorg (talk) 15:41, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. like mentioned before, this is more a domain of Wikidata ... maybe you can insert there a data field with position of the grave. --Stephan75 (talk) 16:03, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

  • I approve this proposal I approve this proposal. I see that most of you do not understand the significance of this relationship.

This is not a relationship to describe the tomb of famous people, only to describe all the graves that will be posted by users. Like the buildings. We not only describe the objects of famous people, but all of which are physically visible. Wikidata not used to record all the dead in the cemetery. --Władysław Komorek (talk) 17:20, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. This does not need a relation. At most a link (like a wikipedia or wikidata link) so the additional information can be gathered there. As Wikipedia sometimes considers lemmas to be "not encyclopedic", I consider this to be "not geographic". We don't need to map the child,parent and partner relations f.e. --Sanderd17 (talk) 19:24, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. To find the tombstone of a person, I would rather search for the person in wikidata or wikipedia and they may reference an object in OSM. This proposal seems to me as "Das Pferd von hinten aufzäumen.", "to put the cart before the horse" --ToniE (talk) 06:59, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I approve this proposal I approve this proposal. WTF with all those "no" votes? There are 1600 relations of this type already. Just deal with it. --Zverik (talk) 07:02, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. I strongly oppose this proposal.
    Please build a separate database where you store data (e.g. place of birth, house of childhood, school, place of death) with coordinates or addresses and link them to geographic data using Nominatim, Overpass API etc.
    There is the main rule in OSM that we map what's on the ground. We might map the name of a person who lies in a grave or if a house was named after a famous person.
    You propose a collective relation (German translation) which is unwanted in OSM database! They might got deleted soon.
    At OSM, we try to avoid data which might get us into trouble with personal rights and privacy. Do you want to handle Data Working Group requests by non-mappers to delete data every day? Do you want that OSM has to handle with Right to be forgotten? --Nakaner (talk) 07:03, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

  • I approve this proposal I approve this proposal. Useful in tagging graves, memorials, etc. Already widely used. Kolen (talk) 13:42, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
  • I oppose this proposal I oppose this proposal. The given example node 1939480712 is easy to model with 4 nodes side by side. No need for relations, keep it simple. Disputable if this information is useful in our db, but that was not the question here. To answer Ilya from taggingML: Even if something is used widely, a (negative) vote can move discussion forward to another (better?) approach of tagging. (See emergency=defibrillator) Put every dead person in a node, put the details on it. If he is important, add a wikidata link. Easy and understandable solution. --Zuse (talk) 14:46, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
