[Talk-scotland] Splitting buildings into parts resulting inmultiple names

[Gregory (LivingWithDragons)]

As Shaun said, relations come into play here. On the church example, if you
have to tag an area (e.g. lack of relation understanding/experience by the
user) then only tag one with the amenity/name.

A comment on the note mentioned building:part key which is used when you're
splitting buildings to add dimensions etc.

The terrace example is interesting to me. In Durham, England we have a few
places where the street name is attached to all 4 sides of the block. The
usual house number along a street (obvious visually) isn't right. I haven't
got to numbering these yet. I will use addr:housenumber=5, and probably
addr:street=Whatever Street. I'll probably add them to a a street relation
to group all the Whatever Street houses but I'm not sure if I'll add a road
to that relation. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:street
