Layer Information

This service consists of a subset of features from OpenStreetMap.

This layer was prepared using osm2pgsql and Osmium.

Information has been clipped to the Kendall region. Features and attributes extracted for this service are as follows:

Buildings

This is mostly features with a building key, but also includes building:part features as well. In OpenStreetMap, building part features are used to separately map parts of a single building whose attributes differ. For example, a split-level house is a single building, but can be mapped as two parts with different height information.

Fields

Field	Description
Name	The name of the building, if any1
Ref	The official ID of a building, if any
Operator	The entity which owns or operates the building
Class	Whether a feature is a building or building:part
Subtype	The value of the building / building:part tag, whether it is a house, silo, church, etc.2
Historic	Whether or not the feature has historic significance
Levels	How many levels the building or part has
Start Date	When the building was first constructed

Footnotes

1. This is not the same as the name of the business or entity which occupies the building.

2. The type of building is based on its architecture, not present use. A church building, for example, often has distinctive features, but may not be operated as a religious gathering place.
