No way to filter for brewery tag / match OSM tags?

smugleafdev opened this issue · 0 comments

OSM has the tag craft=brewery, seen here. I don't see a way to search for this. Personally, a brewery tag would be very useful for me and I'd be happy if that was the only thing added in an update.

So lightly, I will suggest either:

a. Bug fix: add missing "brewery" tag that OSM uses
b. Feature enhancement: add "brewery" tag to match OSM

But more deeply, I think it is in everyone's best interest for ORS's Places/POI service to match OSM's POI/tags for identifying places. This would be a lot of work, especially since OSM doesn't seem to categorize these sorts of tags together, and instead one would have to go through all the different tagging groups like craft, shop, tourism, etc and copy them over to ORS. This does not necessitate, but may include cleaning up discrepancies regarding ORS's category groups vs OSM's tags, such as OSM's "tourism" which includes alpine huts and aquariums vs ORS which has alpine huts under "accommodation" and aquariums under "leisure_and_entertainment".
