[OSM-talk] Relations Proposals for boundary, country and is_in

[Raphael Studer]

Hi,

I've founde three relation proposals with nearly the seam aims.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Proposed/Boundaries
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Proposed/Country
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Relations/Proposed/Is_In

I've also seen relations with type=nation meaning nearly the same as country.

What's about having only two of them:

_Boundaries_
Relation:
 * type=boundary
 * name=?
 * admin_level=?
Members:
 * way or relation with role border.

_Territory (you may choose a better word that for)_
Relation:
 * type=relam
 * name[:de|:en|:it|:fr....]=?
 * level=[country|state|county|district....]
 * population, language, founded ....
Members:
 * territoy-relation with role is_in
 * boundary-relation with role border
 * node with role capital

What do you think of this?

Regards
Raphael
