general tagging guidelines say: no abbreviations, no capitalization, underscores instead of spaces this would mean the key should be: "united_nations_code_for_trade_and_transport_locations" ;-) but this is not very handy. There are a few exceptions to the general guidelines, e.g. "ref", and especially in the context of imports you will usually find a lot of abbreviations (not sure how welcome they are, this surely saves a lot of space (if uncompressed) but (human) readability is much worse. A key like "united_nations_code_for_trade_and_transport_locations" looks absurd on the first glimpse but it is much easier to understand than "locode" or "un/locode". Nonetheless personally I'd go for "un/locode" and let people discover in the wiki what this is about. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
