Overview

administrative boundaries (status: 05/Jan/2011)

The aim of this subproject is the mapping of the several types of administrative boundaries (admin_level=*) in Luxembourg. It is based on a proposal of User:Loll78 as stated here. A general overview of the tagging of boundaries you find here.

We have only a small hierarchy in the Luxembourg administrative regions:

Country (1)

Cantons (12)
Communes (100)

To form the boundaries we use relations of type=boundary instead of type=multiplygon. They consist of ways (the physical boundaries), are closed and can include relations of lower hierarchies.

Administrative hierarchy (admin_level=*)

The admin level is a numeric representation of the position in the administrative hierarchy. The highest level is admin_level=1 and reserved for supranational boundaries. The national boundary is tagged with level admin_level=2, and then we have country specific levels. In Luxembourg, there we have cantons (admin_level=6) and within the cantons we have the communes (admin_level=8). Additionally, we have the quarters in Luxembourg City and Esch-sur-Alzette, we give them the tag admin_level=9.

Ways

To form a border of an administrative area we have at first to create the ways the physical border consists of. We have to take care that the ways is split every time another border is branching, because we have to set different tags depending on the left/right area of the border. May be the hierarchy level changes as well at the node.

We use the following tags for the ways to form administrative boundaries:

Tag Comment
boundary=administrative Type of boundary
admin_level=* Level in administrative hierarchy
(The lowest level number, e.g. the highest level area,
if several levels form a common border!)
name=* The word "Border" followed by the names of left and right areas
(The names of the highest level areas!)
left:*=*
right:*=* 		We still use the tags for the left and right areas (in respect with the direction of the way), even they are obsolete because of the relations (see below)

The usage of the left:*=* and right:*=* tags is as follows:

Admin Level Type of border Tag Comment
2 National border left:country=* and right:country=* National Border
6 Canton border left:region=* and right:region=*
left:county=* and right:county=* 		Canton names, we also add the tags for the underlying communes
8 Commune border left:county=* and right:county=* Commune names
9 Quarter border left:arrondissement=* and right:arrondissement=* Quarter names (only in Luxembourg City and Esch-sur-Alzette)

Relations

To form a closed polygon for administrative areas we connect ways (the borders) to form a ring. If we have enclosed administrative areas (e.g. a District consists of several Cantons and a Canton consists of several communes) we add them to the relation as well. The ways have the role outer (look here for details) and the lower level boundary relations have the role subarea. The relations get special tags:

Tag Comment
type=boundary Type of relation
boundary=administrative Type of boundary
admin_level=* The level of the enclosed administrative area in the hierarchy
name=* Name of the area (with prefix "District", "Canton", or "Quarter")
is_in:=* Names of the enclosing administrative areas (e.g. higher level areas
can be: is_in:continent=*, is_in:country=*, is_in:region=*

Tag is_in=*

The tag is_in=* is under discussion. The reason is, that the information, where a specific administrative area lies in, can also be geographically obtained from the database. But we use it anyway to make it much more easier to build a hierarchy of administrative areas. Expect of the tag is_in:continent=Europe we define all possible upper is_in=* tags in the lower hierarchies, i.e., the lower the hierarchy level, the higher is the number of is_in=* tags.

National boundary (admin_level=2)

The national border of Luxembourg is a closed relation (ring) consisting of the ways of the physical border lines to Belgium, France and Germany.

Relation Status Browse Sub Relations (Districts)
Luxembourg OK relation Browse Diekirch, Grevenmacher, Luxembourg
Tag Comment
is_in:continent=Europe Name of the continent, where Luxembourg is in
name=Groussherzogtum Lëtzebuerg Official country name
name:xx Country name in other languages

In addition to the ways of the physical boundary, the relation includes the sub relations in the hierarchy, i.e. the districts Luxembourg, Grevenmacher and Diekirch, and the capital with the role admin_centre.

Canton boundaries (admin_level=6)

There are 12 cantons in Luxembourg. We use the is_in tags for country and district.

Tag Comment
name=* Name of the canton
ref:lau1=* LAU1 statistical code of the canton
is_in:country=Luxembourg Name of the country, where the canton "is in"
