osmIRL_buildings

Since November 2019 the Irish OSM community decided to the complete the map of Ireland using the themes of buildings. The buildings are estimated to number abround 5.5 million on the whole island, and at the starting point there were under 900,000 done. There is a tasking manager which has the island broken into 40 parts, counties and cities for mappers to add the buildings.

To avoid tagging building=yes, here are some useful tips on how to decide what a building could be, judging from satellite view:

tagExplanationPicture example(s)
building=houseChimneys are visible.
building=garageA service=driveway leads to this small to medium sized building, depending on the angle you can see a wide door, no chimney, a car or boat might be parked outside.
building=shedOften not accessible by car (as opposed to building=garage) at the far end of a terrace plot or on a lawn.
building=farm_auxiliaryUsually found away from the road as part of a farmyard or isolated buildings with rounded and/or flat roof (e.g. building=barn for hay barns).
building=hotelMostly deducted by its name=*. Map the grounds of the hotel with tourism=hotel
building=apartmentsTall residential building with only one main entrance for several apartments. May also have retail outlets on the ground floor.

Putting Clonmel's History on the Map

This was our Heritage Week 2020 project and part of the osmIRL_buildings project, but went into much deeper detail. It used the tasking manager for mapping the buildings.
