geocoding.type `locality` seems to vague #17

Open pbougue opened 8 years ago

pbougue commented 8 years ago

At Kisio/CanalTP (on navitia API), we are integrating Points Of Interest from osm into our geocoder, trying to stick to the geocodejson-spec as much as possible. We noticed that you use locality on api-adresse for example on Tour Eiffel, but it seems to vague and not fitting very well, so we would like to introduce poi to the list of possible geocoding.type. So wanted to discuss about the opportunity of that...

We see 2 possibilities:

add a subtype like locality_type
extend type and add poi and public_transport:stop_area(which sticks to OSM)

For now on https://github.com/CanalTP/mimirsbrunn we will go with the second option.
