3.6.2. Rules for adding attributes to locations (organizations)

• — Only the item's proper name can determine the category of an item or a place (as long the name doesn't include the category and the category doesn't make specific elaborations like “indian cuisine restaurant”).

  For such cases, it's preferred you enter the “Also known as, historical” name variation, which is defined in the [the item's type + proper name] format.

  See examples 1, 4, and 12.

• Only the item's proper name if the item has a number or ID in addition to its proper name (applies to items of the following types: Food, Auto, Trade, Finance, Yard and park infrastructure, Sports, as well as the Drug store and Optician subtypes). In this case, you can specify the item's name, number, and type as a name of the “Also known as, historical” type.

  See example 2.

• — The item's proper name and item type in cases when the item's proper name grammatically overlaps with the item type.

  See example 3.

• The item's proper name, number (or ID), and item type if the item has a number or ID in addition to its proper name (applies to items of the following types: Education and research, Government, Religion, Culture and recreation, Businesses and services, Healthcare, but doesn't include the Drug store and Optician subtypes).

  See examples 25 and 26.

• If an item doesn't have a proper name, only the “item type” is specified (except for items belonging to the Yard and park infrastructure type).

  See examples in Item and organization names (standard names of map items that have no proper names, depending on the category).

• If an object belongs to the “Yard and park infrastructure” type and doesn't have a name, only specify its official name if it elaborates on the item's function. For example, Volleyball court, Basketball court. Don't set an official name for such an item if it doesn't elaborate on its function. For example, the official name can't be Sports ground, Playground, Dumpsters.
• If some of the data pertaining to a “Finance” organization's item type (such as department, branch, numbered or unnumbered operational cash registers, etc.) doesn't fit its category, it can be clarified in the organization's official name. The item's proper name always comes before its official name. The clarifications are written last, separated by a comma.

  See examples 7, 8, 9.

• If a bank has both a full name and an abbreviation/portmanteau, the official name uses the full version, while the caption uses the shortened version.

  See examples 10 and 11.

The name should contain:

• Only the item's proper name in cases when the item's proper name doesn't grammatically overlap with the item type.

  See examples 1, 2, 7, 8, 9.

• Only the item's proper name if the item has a number or ID in addition to its proper name (applies to items of the following types: Food, Auto, Trade, Finance, Yard and park infrastructure, Sports, as well as the Drug store and Optician subtypes).

  See examples 25 and 26.

• Type and number (ID) if the item only has a type and ID.

  See example 27.

• — Only the item type for cases when the item doesn't have a proper name and the item type doesn't match the category. It doesn't need the For caption on map name if the item type matches the category.

  See examples 10 and 11.

• If a government, educational or medical facility does not have its own name or number, the name for the signature on the map is recorded as belonging to the locality (urban or rural).

• If in one territory an organization that is divided into several subsidiaries (for example, a University and its buildings/departments/dorms, a factory and its departments/buildings, a hospital and its departments/buildings, and so on), the names of the subsidiaries are written as:

  • official: name of the parent organization, name of the child organization;

  • for signature: the name of the child organization.

  See examples 16, 17, 18.

  If the subsidiary is located on different territories, the name of the parent organization is saved in the name for the signature.

  See example 19.

• If a large parent company has independent branches with their own names (e.g. city-level universities that are branches of a federal university, or local hospitals subordinate to a regional hospital), then the names of those branches should be specified in the following manner:

  • Official name: name of the parent organization, name of the subordinate organization
  • For caption on map: name of the subordinate organization.

  See example 20.

• If several organizations share the same name, territory, and subcategory (e.g. Factories and industrial enterprises), please include their abbreviated item type in the official name.

  See examples 21, 22, 23, 24.
