I'm trying to label the office building I currently work in. My company is the sole tenant of the building. Generally, do OSM guidelines dictate that I name the building after the company, or attach a separate point to the building with the company name? The former feels more semantically correct (by the nature of rental, the company is merely an itinerant occupant of the building), but the latter feels redundant, attaching a separate commercial office node to a commercial office building. Thoughts? |

OSM maps what's visible on the ground. Whether your company owns the building, or is just the sole tenant, will often be indistinguishable from the outside, so I would not worry about making that distinction in the map. I would assign If the building does have a name that you wish to record in addition to the name of your business, then use |

I would put the company name in the name value and the building name in the addr:housename address tag. 1
addr:housename is intended for cases where the name of the building is part of its postal address (e.g. Buckingham Palace, which doesn't have a numerical street address). If you can mail something to the address and use something like 123 Main Street, then addr:housename likely shouldn't be used. If there's a single tenant of a named building, it's probably best to use the name tag on the building to record its name, and tag the business on a separate node.
