In other words they create a virtual node at the same coordinate position as another, existing node. They can have only one member, a node. This datatype is useful when mapping several distinct objects at the same position, where all those objects shall be represented only by a node. With this relation you can have several point objects at the same spot without using multivalues or overlapping nodes. </p> <div id="toc" class="toc" role="navigation" aria-labelledby="mw-toc-heading"><input type="checkbox" role="button" id="toctogglecheckbox" class="toctogglecheckbox" style="display:none" /><div class="toctitle" lang="en" dir="ltr"><h2 id="mw-toc-heading">Contents</h2><span class="toctogglespan"><label class="toctogglelabel" for="toctogglecheckbox"></label></span></div> <ul> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-1"><a href="#Members"><span class="tocnumber">1</span> <span class="toctext">Members</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-2"><a href="#Roles"><span class="tocnumber">2</span> <span class="toctext">Roles</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-3"><a href="#Tags"><span class="tocnumber">3</span> <span class="toctext">Tags</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-4"><a href="#Layering"><span class="tocnumber">4</span> <span class="toctext">Layering</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-5"><a href="#Examples_and_Usecases"><span class="tocnumber">5</span> <span class="toctext">Examples and Usecases</span></a></li> <li class="toclevel-1 tocsection-6"><a href="#Voting"><span class="tocnumber">6</span> <span class="toctext">Voting</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Members">Members</span></h2> <p>These relations generally have <b>only one member</b> (which defines the position, e.g. a pole). </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Roles">Roles</span></h2> <p>You can either omit the role or add semantics by using roles like the following: </p> <ul><li><tt style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6;white-space:nowrap" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"><a href="/wiki/Relation#Roles" title="Role"><img alt="Role" src="/w/images/thumb/5/5d/Osm_element_role.svg/20px-Osm_element_role.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="20" style="vertical-align: text-bottom" srcset="/w/images/thumb/5/5d/Osm_element_role.svg/30px-Osm_element_role.svg.png 1.5x, /w/images/thumb/5/5d/Osm_element_role.svg/40px-Osm_element_role.svg.png 2x" /></a> <a href="/wiki/Role:attached_to" title="Role:attached to">attached_to</a></tt> to express that the feature is attached to the member (e.g. a pole)</li> <li><tt style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6;white-space:nowrap" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"><a href="/wiki/Relation#Roles" title="Role"><img alt="Role" src="/w/images/thumb/5/5d/Osm_element_role.svg/20px-Osm_element_role.svg.png" decoding="async" width="20" height="20" style="vertical-align: text-bottom" srcset="/w/images/thumb/5/5d/Osm_element_role.svg/30px-Osm_element_role.svg.png 1.5x, /w/images/thumb/5/5d/Osm_element_role.svg/40px-Osm_element_role.svg.png 2x" /></a> only_position</tt> to express that there is just a coincidence in position, not a different relationship</li></ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Tags">Tags</span></h2> <ul><li>The tag to define the relation is <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:type" title="Key:type">type</a></bdi>=<a href="/wiki/Tag:type%3Dnode" class="mw-redirect" title="Tag:type=node"><bdi>node</bdi></a></tt>.</li> <li>add any tag you need to describe the object just as if it was a node.</li></ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Layering">Layering</span></h2> <p>you can add <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:layer" title="Key:layer">layer</a></bdi>=*</tt> tags to the objects at the same position (node member and the relation itself) in order to define real world stacking. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Examples_and_Usecases">Examples and Usecases</span></h2> <p>A usecase could be a pole with several <tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6"><bdi style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Key:traffic_sign" title="Key:traffic sign">traffic_sign</a></bdi>=*</tt> attached to it (or also other poles where you would want to tag several distinct objects attached to them).
