Subject: Questions about xAL v 3.0
Hello! I work as an IT architect in If, a Norwegian insurance company. We have recently decided to use OASIS as a common domain model for our customer webservices. 1) I have downloaded the version 3.0 of xAL, xNL, xNAL and x.PIL. By looking at the examples in xAL-International.xml file I get a little confused. There seem to be a mismatch between the examples and the definitions in the xAL documentation. The postal town is in almost all of the examples put into the AdministrativeArea without any type. According to the documentation it should be a Locality with the type PostTown. At least this is the way that I would interpret the documentation. AdministrativeArea I would use for other purposes. 2) Also I have another problem. I want to deliver both the PostTown and the Municipality at the same time. How am I supposed to do that? Both are permitted values for LocalityType, but I can't have two Localities at the same time. I have studied the use of the xAL version 2.0 in the GoogleMap for Norwegian addresses. Many of the addresses there are displayed incorrectly, because they use the Municipality name instead of the PostalTown. I don't want create the same confusion in our systems about this. Are you able to provide me with some help to these questions? 3) Also, are there any Norwegian or other Nordic contributors to the xAL standard that I can discuss with?
