annotation	documentation -- Definition --
 One or more names created and maintained for postal purposes to identify a subdivision of addresses and postal delivery points. 
 
 -- Description --
 NOTE 1 Often the post name (or names) is a supplementary identification of the post office to which the associated post code belongs. For example it may be the name of the town in which the office is situated. In other situations the post name could be an independent descriptor without any post code or it could be a postal subdivision connected to a parent postal descriptor (post code and post name). 
 
 NOTE 2 In some countries like e.g. Spain and The Netherlands, no post names exit therefore the postal descriptor is only represented by the post code. 
 
 NOTE 3 Even though the post name is the same as the name of an administrative unit or an address area, the area covered are not necessarilythe same.

annotation	documentation -- Definition --
 A code created and maintained for postal purposes to identify a subdivision of addresses and postal delivery points. 
 
 -- Description --
 NOTE 1 The structure, schema and formats of post codes are different in different countries. Often the components of the post code are hierarchical, e.g. when the first character(s) identifies the region covered by the post code and the next characters define the subdivision. 
 
 NOTE 2 In some countries, e.g., The Republic of Ireland, no post codes exists therefore the postal descriptor is only represented by the post name (e.g. town name).
 
 EXAMPLE In the UK postcodes starting with W covers the Western (W1) and Paddington (W2-14) districts of the London postal district. In Sweden all postcodes starting with "80" is related to the postal name "Gävle".
