Hi Seb

We have started with a n:n hierarchy relation and populated it with reverse geocoded data. A draft version is here: http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/415.page#2055

The hierarchy is not yet editable with the userinterface, though.

Hi David

I think it is actually correct. The geonameid for the admin division should be in the countryInfo file. The island feature code refers to an entity of type 'T' (islands, mountains, etc) wheras 'A' refers to countries etc.

Cheers

Marc
not yet. I will let you know when it is deployed.

Marc
this was an error. I have changed the feature code from "territory" to "area".

Marc
the "daily" dump is a daily dump The web services are running on different servers and are normally synchronized in realtime: http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=Milandes

Hi Jack

There is an API for updating and inserting records. I send you the link to the documentation with a private mail.

Marc
The problem with the server is fixed.

Marc
sorry, Steve. Your emails ended up in the spam folder. Will answer them immediately.

There is a problem with a server running the free services. The commercial services are not affected. Make sure you are using the correct domain name.

Hallo Marco

Hier funktioniert es:
http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=D%C3%B6beln

Kannst du die url angeben die du verwendest?

Gruss

Marc
I am sorry, we had a server crash of one of the main servers handling the free requests.

Marc
Can you check again and give us an example record? I can't believe this.

Hi Fred

The postal code database and the normal GeoNames place name database are two different datasets. We are working on merging them, but as you see your self there are quite some differences and as usuayl the devil is in the details.

Marc
The timezone service is not using the GeoNames database. At the contrary the timezone service is used to enhance the downloadable database.

The unique key is countrycode + admincode1 + admincode2

Marc
Hi David

For the admin codes we use the most common national codes (like INSEE codes in France). The codes cannot be updated with the userinterface, I have to set them directly on the database.
The code '00' means 'not applicable' but it is often used as 'null'. This means the admincode should be unique for all exept '00' and 'null'. Administrative divisions should not have neither '00' nor 'null'.
If you want to help assigning missing admin codes then you should figure out the code from the national code system and then you can send me the code with the geonameid and I do the update.

Hi Ben

The download server was running out of disk space on one device. I did some house cleaning and restarted the daily dump.

Hi Bruce

I don't have a list. On Windows there is a package for East Asian languages that is already on the computer and only needs to be unpacked. Use a search engine to find out where exactly to click on your operating system.

David

You are right there was a synchronization problem.
