[OSM-dev] Boundingboxing a relation/relation

[Stefan de Konink]

Ok,


Questions in the series: how to build your own api server.

- What does 'visible' actually mean?


- How is a recursive relationship boundingboxed for a map request?


The DTD allows:

<relation>
  <member type="relation" ...>
</relation>


How is a relation within a relation (even deeper levels) solved if a map 
request with a specific bounding box is fetched?

I can imagine that verything is in essence a node, so one could work 
from nodes to relationships. And might (iteratively) work from 
relationships to relationship pointers.


Some comments will be appreciated :)
