Hi Trebien, I investigated a little about the capital=8 tag (which is 84.67% of it's 9 989 values), and it seems it's being used differently than what we thought initially. Most of these cases have something like admin_level=8 + capital=8.
I don't have the time right now to investigate it fully, but it seems it's like Trebien guessed before: it's probably the result of a import: - http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/egrn - http://osm.mapki.com/history/node.php?id=34095951 You can use the following Overpass query to see the first 500 nodes with the tag capital=8 + admin_level=8: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/3n4 (remove limit="500" from the <print> statement to see all 8000+ nodes). 2014-05-13 12:40 GMT-03:00 Fernando Trebien <fernando.treb...@gmail.com>: > Following from the previous discussion > (https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2014-May/017515.html), > it seems clear we would all like to know how these tags are being > employed in each other's country.
