I'm in favor of removing the "Province of".<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 6:54 PM, maning sambale <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:emmanuel.sambale@gmail.com">emmanuel.sambale@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">Most of the is_in:state tags have the value "Province of" in the name.<br>
For example:<br>
<a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/198502660" target="_blank">http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/198502660</a><br>
gns_classification = ADM2<br>
gns_uni = -3354889<br>
is_in:country = Philippines<br>
is_in:country_code = ph<br>
is_in:state = Province of Bohol<br>
name = Loboc<br>
place = town<br>
source = GNS<br>
<br>
Question, is it too verbose?<br>
<br>
Disclosure:<br>
I'm appending the is_in:state tags to town and cities points in the<br>
osm-ph garmin map. See:<br>

<br>
I can of course pre-process the OSM data before compiling the Garmin<br>
map, but it would be nice to clean the main data if we agree that<br>
this is redundant. The benefit I see with the text "Province of"<br>
remaining in the database is to make it explicitly refer to the<br>
province since it is added in the is_in:state tag to avoid confusion<br>
with the "state" from other countries.<br>
