"name" property #16

Open jfgigand opened 8 years ago

Hi,

According to the spec:

  // OPTIONAL. Name of the place.
      "name": "My Shoes Shop",

For street addresses, the Addok geocoder returns street number + street name as the name. I would expect the name to designate only place names when they have one.

What is the semantic of this property? Is it synthetic?

This is linked to: https://github.com/geocoders/geocoder-tester/ as many tests perform a check on the name property, rather than individual street number and street name.
