[Talk-in] What are the Guidelines for mapping address information in India?

[Arun Ganesh]

This is what i would propose based on
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/search?q=addr

addr:housename=Vikram Building CHS Ltd (Name of the Building)
addr:neighbourhood=Bali Bajar (Sub Locality in Indian parlance)
addr:suburb=Kurla W (Locality in Indian parlance)

Landmarks are an interesting concept since its very subjective. Different
people might use different landmarks for the exact same address. While its
totally ok to invent a separate addr:landmark field to have this, not
feeling very convinced it would be practically useful for a geocoder for
searching. Its probably more useful while printing out the address so it
can be used on the ground and for that having it in addr:full seems
sufficient.
