If I make a paper map of India, I will show state borders, and when I<br>
make map of state, then district's border will be shown.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Err.. there seems to be some communication gap. Perhaps I didn't understand your question.</div><div><br></div><div>
I was talking more at the contributor + renderer internals level; about how data is created, stored and edited in the system. It can still be presented to the user (viewer) in the way you describe.</div><div><br></div><div>
To elaborate, when I first imported the district maps from the shapefile into OSM using the shape2osm script, it created separate node tags for the points on every district's boundary. The XML was around 9MB.</div><div>
<br></div><div>I later modified the script to "share" the nodes between adjacent boundaries, and the data came to around 5MB.</div><div><br></div><div>So, this is what I mean by not having "separate" boundaries: shared <node> tags, but ofcourse, separate <way> tags.</div>
