[Talk-tr] Istanbul neighborhood classifications

[Jeff Haack]

Hi OSMers,

I'm trying to understand the placename classifications in Istanbul and how
those relate to OSM tags, and hoping someone can help.  In Istanbul there
are ilçe (districts) and mahalle (neighborhoods).  But then there are also
semtler - what is the difference between mahalle and semtler?

Also I'm wondering about how to tag places.  From the OSM wiki it seems
that districts should be place=suburb and mahalle should be
place=neighborhood, but on the map the districts are usually place=town and
mahalle/semtleri are either place=suburb or place=neighborhood.  Is there
any reason for tagging ilçe as place=town?

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to formalize the tags?

Cheers,
Jeff
