These could be tagged as follows: - Italy's admin. boundary relation: admin_level=2 - Rome's node: capital=2 - Lazio's admin. boundary relation: admin_level=4 - Province of Rome's admin. boundary relation: admin_level=6 - City of Rome's admin. boundary relation: admin_level=8
And: - Abruzzo's admin. boundary relation: admin_level=4 - L'Aquila's node: capital=4 - Commune of L'Aquila's admin boundary relation: admin_level=6 - City of L'Aquila's admin. boundary relation: admin_level=8 How should one render the labels for Rome and L'Aquila? With predefined styles for a country capital and for a "state" capital, respectively. (There may be many levels of "capitals".) Then renderers would read that information from Rome's and L'Aquila's nodes' capital=* tag. What is Rome a capital of? You'd have to look up: - all relations that refer to Rome's node with a role "admin_centre" which have no "capital" role - all relations that refer to Rome's node with a role "capital" (Or we can keep it simple and define the "capital" role and ignore the "admin_centre" role altogether when answering this question.) Who would be interested in knowing what Rome is a capital of? Besides renderers (which often render a larger icon and larger fonts for capitals), probably only an atlas app or something similar. This information makes little difference for routing or geocoding.
