children webservice is great :
http://www.geonames.org/export/place-hierarchy.html#children

More similar webservices would be useful :


1/ siblings :
siblings(node) = children(parent(node)) - node;


2/ neighbours :
all nodes from same level with a common border

For France country, this would return :
Spain, Andorra, Monaco, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium.
(Should also work for ADM1/2/3/4)

Ok.

The siblings are here :
http://ws.geonames.org/siblings?geonameId=3017382

and the neighbours here :
http://ws.geonames.org/neighbours?geonameId=3017382

The neighbours is only implemented for countries, for administrative levels we have to calculate the information first.

Cheers
