The original idea was to (by default) assume that the street name is the "name" tag of the nearest highway (i.e. no addr:* required), and that you can optionally set addr:street on the node to make it 100% clear. But meanwhile - mostly because it is so easy to do in JOSM - many people simply tag the whole shebang (addr:country, addr:town, addr:post_code, addr:street, addr:house_number) onto every house node. It adds redundancy but that is not necessarily bad - gives the OSM inspector a chance to find fishy corners, and makes everything really simple for anybody dealing with the data. > addr:housename needs to be added, or addr:housenumber needs to be > explicit that it can be a name, or made a more generic term to > encompass both The JOSM presets already supply addr:housename even though (to my surprise) the wiki page doesn't list it. Agreed that the Wiki page needs a makeover, ideally by someone who writes better English than the assorted band of Germans who did the initial version ;-) Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
