Hi all, There are lots of toponyms that change their names several times throughout their history. It seems that a single old_name tag is fairly insufficient if we just enumerate all the semicolon-separated values, and so is the old_nameN way since both don't state anything about the order of renaming.
The task I think of is something like "What was the name of this street in the year YYYY?". The start_date tag is seemingly inappropriate since it refers to the while object, not only its name. Some relation would probably be good but it's unclear what objects could go in. Does anyone have any ideas? (If I missed a previous discussion on the same topic, could you please point that to me.) -- Best regards, Dmitry V.
