The logainm match up will only look at the name:en tag (or failing that the name) tag. It doesn't look at the alt_name (etc) tags. Perhaps it should. likewise it should split "X and Y" into "X" and "Y" and look at them. > (B) A name structure variation is valid, "East X" = "X East".

Inish More. Also consider, Upper/Lower, Island, More/Beg > Oughter/Eighter etc. The logainm script is aware of North/South/Upper/etc and will try to match based on that. It is able to tell that "X Upper" in Logainm is the same as "Upper X" in OSM (and vice versa etc). A few of these will be added to the logainm match up. I wasn't aware of them: > (C) Missing spaces can be valid names. e.g. Inishdeashmore = > Inishdeash-more = Inishdeash More > > (E) X Deme(ns)e and X Deme(sn)e.

Are you sure about this? That would make 2 townlands, called "X" and "X (part of)". I thought if the map has a "X part of" displayed that it meant that little part was an exclave of the larger X townland, and I've been mapping them as such. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYpwntAAoJEOrWdmeZivv2FxoH/1GHOBmoLUMtsKQanmc9OhJC tYA1R/nLYXxenl7N3CXWxpFfpRrADb+G7SRZ6FC3YwABNOFudb3/4/QUh9T2zY00 NICTF7gmp8k378zVr2RxreOxXb0Qz4kXCfg+4H8NzAuxgsfEihliegGmRYm+/A6e 2glvvD+8GAoQ9zZvJdqXkdtZvB5BtV213jiTDYRoXWVX9r8TlqI9OPULL1FQtii4 LfP1s4oWKF5ma3Dip3VgyUvOCKWW/JaD5EGOZtT4uW8TnBKxEtWS/ahvoKInjyj6 gSWGJOW1tVorHur8B/HXK/poAbPy91M2ttS5d2IhGQyr5nOe8l25Fhm+uaGvkJ8= =drU2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Talk-ie mailing list Talk-ie@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
