dear schadow1, (long answer again --- i'm an advocate, hehe) :-) addr:housenumber can be any alphanumeric combination, (and where housenumber or streetnumber is not yet officially assigned by the LGU, local assessor, project developer or Philpost) +1 for addr:housenumber=B+[block_no] +[space] + L + [lot_no] eg. addr:housenumber=B27 L8 not Block 27 Lot 8 not Blk 27 Lot 8 not Lot 8 Blk 27 not as customers would insist on writing them (else we delay pushing for a standard/efficient address format law) note: B[x] L[x] saves a lot of character-spaces in paper/digital fill-up forms. [Block] before [Lot] --> on physical delivery of mails & various services, it's easier to locate, and sort mails belonging to the same block. Also, by observation: this [Block] [Lot] format is adapted already by some real estate companies such as Sen. Villar's group of companies, etc in their list of customer database, (which makes sense to me). I'm more inclined to put the Phase_No of subdivision together with the Subdivision Name (because it's actually a subdivision within a subdivision (that's just my opinion) Additional Questions: What if a Duplex is built on the same Block-Lot property? How do we indicate the Door No. or Apartment No. on addr:housenumber? What if there's a"building name" on a property that already have an established Street_No or House_No? addr:housename that can be combined with addr:housenumber. But where where do we put the Unit No. or Floor No.? I believe in the USA, govt assigns a unique APT# (for any residential unit in a particular zipcode) _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
