Hello,
Ok, I think I understand now. Thank you for the explanations. And that's
very interesting.
FYI, up to now, to gather the information about a city, we were doing:
select ... from planet_osm_line
where boundary='administrative' and
admin_level='8' and
name='%s';
So, as far as I understood, this means that nominatim is able to deliver
/at least/ these former results, which is wonderful ! And it will
deliver also the "other" results (those with class != "boundary" and/or
type != "administrative").
If I understand correctly, we should trust the polygon you return only
when class="boundary" ? Or the correct condition should be rather "when
class="boundary" and type="administrative" ?
In any case, I think we are very interested in the polygon, even when
it's "weird" (eg. class="place"), but we'll probably have to tell this
to the user when we present the results (the same way you do it with the
icon tag, afaik) ?
Regards,
