name=*

理由

一般的に、名前は省略するべきではありません。なぜなら、省略名は文脈を曖昧にすることがあるからです。However, in some languages such as English, there are many idiosyncratic abbreviations that a data consumer would be unable to guess based on the full name alone. Tagging these abbreviations can make it possible for a search engine to understand a common user query, help a renderer display a label that fits in the allotted space, or help navigation software announce a street name in the allotted time.

いつ使うか

Use this key if the abbreviation is not obvious enough for a data consumer to generate it from the full name using conventional techniques, such as a lookup table of common abbreviations.

Short names are related to the concept of a reference. The two may match in many cases. However, a short name is generally better suited for display to the user, whereas a reference is less likely to have duplicates or ambiguity.

If the spelled-out name is much more obscure than the short name and should not appear in software output, put the short name in name=* and relegate the spelled-out name to alt_name=* or official_name=*. Many brand names started out as initialisms but no longer stand for anything, so tagging the historic full spelling as the main name would be pedantic.

Use alt_name=* or loc_name=* for an informal nickname that a data consumer should not normally present to the user.

使用方法

Set short_name=* to the abbreviation, respecting the default language's rules on capitalization and punctuation. name=*と同様に、short_name:en=*や、short_name:fr=*などのサブキーも可能です。

For some kinds of features, such as the provinces of a country, there may be multiple customary sets of abbreviations but one that is preferred in OSM. Clarify the abbreviation set using source:short_name=*.
