[OSM-talk] Multiple addresses/use for one building

[Sarah Manley]

I am working on addressing my neighborhood, and many of the buildings  
have multiple addresses. For example, in my building, each apartment  
has its own address. I am not sure how to label this. I have read  
through the past threads as well as the proposed feature: (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Proposed_features/House_numbers/Karlsruhe_Schema#Apartment_Blocks.2C_Blocks_of_Flats.2C_Communities.2C_Business_Parks.2C_Campuses_etc 
... ) This seems to be concerned more with apartment numbers, or  
separate entrances. In our building we have one entrance and each  
apartment door is a different address number.

Also, for buildings such as malls, where there are many stores (I am  
working on San Francisco's Ferry building which has about 30 shops in  
it), are people just adding in separate nodes for each shop, or is  
there a better alternative?

Thanks
Sarah
