hierarchy.zip : parentId, childId, type. The type 'ADM' stands for the admin hierarchy modeled by the admin1-4 codes. The other entries are entered with the user interface. The relation toponym-adm hierarchy is not included in the file, it can instead be built from the admincodes of the toponym.




What does "it can instead be built from the admincodes of the toponym" mean?

Where is the toponym data?

The geoname table is self referencing, the admin hierarchy is in the admincode fields.
