Good definition of place and address/residence event in Gramps
|}
DefenitionsDefinitions:
* '''Tier 3 ''': level of division of a country with a mayor.
* ''' Tier 4 ''': The locality people identify themself with. Can be a hamlet, the city itself, a borough, ...
This data could then be used to dynamically create fields in the place editor, place filter and place tree view.
 
'''Questions and Design Decisions'''
* Do we need 2 or 3 tiers between the level with a mayor and the country? We only take 2 tiers. Most countries have more than 2 tiers, but they have little importance for the inhabitants or genealogy
* Many countries have different sublevels depending on the country. Yes, but Gramps is not a place storing application. In Countries like China you have province or autonomous region or .. as Tier 1. We can only provide one label, the users must himself understand that a locality in an autonomous region should put the name of the region in the Tier 1 (Labeled province) field.
=== Define one ideal way of working with alternative place ===
