I am working on a project which will be importing items from excel and putting them on the map. The items (shops, buildings,...) have got address but they do not have the house numbers separated the street name, nor is it always the case that the house number is included. It is not a simple parsing task to parse these field for every locale, so I am wondering what I should do with it. Should I put it into a new tag, should I use the full? How can I add this information to the entity without making errors in the street or house number fields?

Thanks,
J.M. Wiley
