Hi,
In my opinion, this information that does not belong into the OSM
database. Maintaining short names, abbreviated names and hierarchies on
each and every node that belongs to some network is way too much work
and creates way too much redundant data.
Ideally, we find one common spelling of the name of each network and use
this throughout all objects that belong to it. The further details like
different spellings and the hierarchy can then be established in further
documentation, e.g. in the Wiki.
