[OSM-talk] Tag 'is_in' workable ?
Hi list, Here's a node that reprendre the center of a city in France : http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/26698384 We cannot know in which country is this city. because 'France' in the 'is_in' tag can reference to a district name or I don't know. Also, it's difficult to exploit (we have to parse, to compare etc., it's not productive). As the tag 'admin_level' is finished (from 1 to 10), why not propose tags admin_level1 to admin_level10 for nodes and ways in order to retreive the country/region/department/district of a node or a way in a precise way ? Thank you all, Aurélien ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

The is_in tag is really a relic of the time when we didn't have boundary polygons etc.; today, it should not be used because services like Nominatim can determine automatically which region(s) an object is in.
