Surely the boundary way itself is unlikely to have a name, other than a synthetic a/b boundary? Unless of course the name refers to some feature like a road or a river which in a specific case may be part of the boundary. As administrative bodies (and their boundaries) are usually hierarchical

2013/11/6 Pieren pier...@gmail.com Now I see that the county free big city. is incorrect. If the admin level exists but is just matching another level boundary, we duplicate the relation in my country since years. See for instance - Paris, the municipality (city), level 8 :

Administrative boundaries are defined by a unique administrative instance ? Let's take the problem the other way around: Is this boundary x an admin level 6? If yes, create a level 6 relation. Is this boundary x an admin level 8? If yes, create a level 8 relation. Do you want to know if a

Hi, in Germany we have the concept of countys and citys within those countys. E.g. admin_level=8 within admin_level=6. Now as an exception every rule follows bigger citys are their own countys, or dont belong to a county. (Kreisfreie Städte) Administrative wise these citys take all

In the UK we do the opposite. In Unitary Authorities, which combine the role of the county with the district (sounds like the same as the Kreisfreie Staedte) we tag the UA as admin_level=6, i.e. at the same level as counties, and not admin_level=8 which is the level for the districts. We also
