Well - tags are generally invented for a specific part of our heterogeneous world and you need to be careful when using the same tags in a very different geographic setting based on some superficial similarity. If in your area there are addresses that are very different from elsewhere it might not be a good idea to use the same tags for those. > But for example, multiple government offices are listed in this page > https://www.ma.gov.br/contatos/ and some, despite having a proper > address, don't have a housenumber (where "S/N" is the abbreviation > for "sem número" = "no number") I still don't know if the addresses listed there are unique (in the sense that only those government offices have this address) or if there are maybe a dozen other unrelated buildings which happen to have the same address (which clashes with my understanding of the concept of an address). Note to document a building/place belongs to a certain street we also have the concept of the associatedStreet relation. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:associatedStreet -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
