Only when the "military" area is exactly equal to the "federal enclave" area. This may or may not be the case depending on the definition of the military area and the specifics of the situation. > It overtly fits the description of "federal > enclave" in wikipedia. What would you suggest as a name for the key, > "something", or is there "something" out there already? Depends on what you want to describe. If it's the ownership, ownership. If it's who is allowed to access the land, access. If it's what the land is used for (and not who it's used by), landuse.

I would guess it's very much a US-specific thing, since we're one of the few (only?) places with that whole dual-sovereignty thing going on. Admin_level=3? Admin_level=5? Admin_level=4? I don't know. What's used for the District of Columbia? This is similar, jurisdiction-wise, though it differs in the fact that the land wasn't actually ceded from the state. (Answer is admin_level=4, but in that case it's *also* a state border, because the state actually ceded the land.) As for the use of the term "enclave", it's a bit too confusing trying to wrap my head around how to apply "enclave" in the face of dual-sovereignty. I certainly wouldn't use that term by itself - it'd be far too ambiguous. "Federal enclave" seems to be well defined and unambiguous. But it's long and has a space in it. Honestly, I don't really like the whole admin_level thing in the first place. It doesn't fit the reality of the situation - Florida is not an administrative level of the United States, just as France is not an administrative level of the EU. So I'll let others battle that one out. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
