Correct syntax for Belgian address

0

In Belgium you have some special address possibilities. What is the correct syntax to use in OSM?

Examples; Louizalaan 43-45 ; Dieweg 61/2 ; Joseph Wauters-plein 16/1 bus 8 ; Bouillonlaan 16B bus 207

addr:street=Louizalaan addr:housenumber=43-45 in case there is one entrance

addr:street=Dieweg addr:housenumber=61/2

addr:street=Joseph Wauters-plein (is there really a dash ?) addr:housenumber=16/1 Is there really only a bus 8 ?

addr:street=Bouillonlaan addr:housenumber=16B, same question for bus number

I advice you to subscribe to the Belgian mailing list. We have recently been discussing a proposal to do an address import. Part of the discussion was on the housenumbers
