Hi,
I plan to create and make easily available a world-wide administrative
layer based on OSM data, ideally including existing administrative codes
(ISO, NUTS in Europe, etc) for each level and producing regular updates
(for instance once a year).
I think such a layer would be very useful for a n

The American Red Cross is dealing with this issue right now.
We've built a database using GADM, GAUL, and Natural Earth. We initially
wanted to rely heavily on OSM but because the relation breaks said it
proved problematic. We've parked the use of OSM in our boundary dataset so
that we can move fo

I recently had to deal with admin boundaries and the lack of homogeneous
tagging of worldwide reference numbers (like iso3166 or FIPS) does not help.
For example US states had only the usual 2 letters
