Name and Building name #102

Hi everyone,

I have some remarks regarding the name of a Building. The datatype class of the geographical name does not allow to make a distinction between the endonym and exonym character of the name. E.g., for the Belfry of Brugge . If two names exist, it would be interesting to know that the Dutch one is the endonym and the French one is the exonym.

The description of the spelling property could be specified: Could you specify what does exactly meant A proper way of writing the geographical name. Are we talking about the official, historical or usual name or other? E.g., for the same belfry of Brugge one can either call it Belfort van Brugge or Halletoren.

I propose to add 2 properties to the geographical name:

  1. The endonym character or not (as a boolean )
  2. A name status as described in inspire [Name Status ] (https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/NameStatusValue)

Regards.

As there doesn't seem to be any objection, we will proceed with the suggested changes.
