No support for country in TopographicPlace #377

Description

@JohanEntur

Currently Tiamat can not import topographicPlace structures with country. It only allows "municipality" and "county", and only one level of parentSiteRef.

Instead it expects country to be represented by CountryRef.

  • This means one can not build complete structures, add additional levels, or continue the structure beyond country - for example EU or Europe.
  • This also means the country has no metadata, such as name translations.

Example

        <TopographicPlace id="OSM:TopographicPlace:2299133" version="1">
          <keyList><KeyValue><Key>wikidata</Key><Value>Q189</Value></KeyValue></keyList>
          <Descriptor><Name>Ísland</Name></Descriptor>
          <alternativeDescriptors>
            <TopographicPlaceDescriptor>
              <Name lang="en">Iceland</Name>
            </TopographicPlaceDescriptor>
          </alternativeDescriptors>
          <TopographicPlaceType>country</TopographicPlaceType>
          <CountryRef ref="is"/>
        </TopographicPlace>

Many countries do not use terms equivalent to country, or have more than 2 steps in their admin levels, or may even use parallel structures.

Here is an example of a file I've generated for Iceland. It should fit Tiamat, except for the country part.
is-topographic-places.xml

What I want:
Support for multinesting of TopographicPlaces.
