Forum in Deutsch -> Veyras Schweiz wird nicht gefunden. -> Go to message
Othmar


Das liegt daran, dass der Ort Veyras nicht erfasst war. Die Suche hat die Gemeinde 'ADM3' geliefert, dein Webservice Zugriff sucht aber explizit nach Orten 'P'. Ich habe den Ort soeben eingefügt.

Gruss

Discussion of GeoNames Toponyms -> Historical places and place names -> Go to message
I just see that I have not yet answered to the posting above by Leif. Sorry about this.

Leif:
There are some ideas how geonames could be improved with a timeline. Some table already have date attributes, like the subdivisions: http://www.geonames.org/LA/administrative-division-laos.html

q1: if the name of the roman provinces is still somehow in use today then they could be added as area or region, but not as ADM1,2 etc.

q2: I wouldn't add new records for Clausentum and Hamwic. Adding new places would make them exist today. I would rather add them as alternate names. That they have historically not had the same extent as todays Southampton is not a big problem. These names would get the language code 'latin' and it would not lead to confusion that Southampton all of a sudden would be called Clausentum or Hamwic.

Mike:
TGN is not a free source, so you have to be careful how to use it and not violate their license conditions. If you manually check some names then it will be ok, but it cannot be done in an automated process.

General -> Database question -> Go to message
'all' is quite a lot. It contains all names registered by the U.S. Geological Survey. In particular for schools I doubt that all schools are officially registered as a geographical name.
