I've checked the first 15 cities in this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Germany_by_population And it seems that in Germany's city nodes: - the federal capital is tagged with capital=yes+admin_level=2: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/240109189 - state capitals are tagged with capital=4, some (though far from the top of the list) also have is_capital=state - others have neither capital nor admin_level tags Things I did not understand: - Leipzig has is_capital=county on the node but admin_level=6 on the relation - Nurenberg has capital=5 on the node but admin_level=6 on the relation And some of these relations (though far from the top of the list) are not assigned an admin_centre role, even though the node exists. It seems that German capitals follow the pattern capital=[lowest admin_level of relations in which the city is admin_centre], except Berlin. > __________ > openstreetmap.org/user/AndiG88 > wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:AndiG88 > > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging -- Fernando Trebien +55 (51) 9962-5409 "Nullius in verba." _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
