How should addresses be tagged, when a village does not use streetnames? Here, addresses only consist of the village, optionally the hamlet and the housenumber? Should the hamlet name be used for addr:street? Or should another key like addr:place or addr:hamlet be used? But in that case: How can I indicate that (searching/indexing) software should not try to (desperately) search for streetnames like Nominatim does if no addr:street is given? |

in the wiki, the tag addr:place is shown for this purpose http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr:place e.g. addr:place=Somevillage, addr:housenumber=123a I used this on some addresses in Rustavi, where houses are numbered by microraions instead of streets, seems to be the most apropriate way of tagging so far... http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=41.57088&lon=44.96872&zoom=17&layers=M |

I'd say tag it with the smallest feature that it is part of (town, village, street, whatever) using addr:*. It would be useful to have examples to improve nominatim, if you can tag something, document it in the wiki and create an example here (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim/TestCases) it should hopefully get resolved as a developer finds time. |
No. Don't try to "force" real data to meet an arbitrary addressing scheme. If there are no street names, then there should be no |

In theory addr:suburb was suggested for this. Practically I use it, but I don't think all apps that would want to use it (search for it) could cope with it. 1
Why would you use something that means "part of a bigger place" (suburb) when you are tagging a little mountain village?

Sorry, your answer doesn't help at all. :( addr:suburb is clearly the wrong choice, when a village gives housenumbers by hamlet (one could use addr:hamlet already). The main problem is, that geocoders (like nominatim) desperately try to find a streetname for a given housenumber, if none is supplied. I'm looking for a method to indicate that there is actually no streetname for a certain address (a missing addr:street does not mean that!).
