Hi
Do you have any documentation that could be useful for that please?
To me, oil&gas are essential infrastructure providing energy and fluids to other human activities and are in the scope of the osm utility=* key.
Another question is: what harm could cause oil&gas as utility from osm perspective?
Because oil and refinery are orthogonal values in the same key. It breaks semantic consistency.
Furthermore, it confuses substance, activity and facility in the same key which is undesirable.
This proposal is about street cabinets, buildings or industrial perimeters.
By the way, and out of the scope of the proposal, I think man_made=water_works is a too general value that should be refined but it’s not my point here.
From global osm perspective, I don’t get the relevancy to have wastewater_plant and water_works in the overcrowded man_made key instead of man_made=works + utility=sewerage or utility=water for instance.
utility=water or utility=sewerage should be transverse to all sewerage or water infrastructure. It would allow consumers to access it all without looking for works, reservoirs, valve rooms, pumping rooms, service buildings they aren’t supposed to be aware of.
