Introduction

To facilitate finding information based on the geographical boundaries, we organised the geographical descriptions in the following order:

Continent – Country – Region – Province – City – City section.

In reality, each country is organised differently and has different names for its geographical entities.

  • For each country we decide if and what two levels between country and city are appropriate to use.
  • For each city, we decide if it is useful to divide it in city section.
  • If a level is not used, we show the information on the level above.

Header

Label*

  • The name of the geographical entity, as used today.
  • We the name of a geographical entity, if the entity itself uses names in different languages. (if not just copy in your language)
  • If there could be confusion between city sections, cities, regions and provinces with the same name add between brackets the level. For example Antwerp (district) Put the name without brackets as alias for consistency reasons.
  • If there could be confusion between cities with the same name in different countries, add the country or region between square brackets. For example Lisbon [USA].

Description

  • You can give a short (max 30 words) description of the geographic entity.
  • The standard phrasing is “city in [country]”.
  • In the case of a geographic entity with specific, important properties, these can be added.

Also known as

  • This field is used to facilitate searching.(You could add for example "Netherlands" as alternative for "The Netherlands"
  • When a geographical entity was called differently in earlier time periods, you can add an alias
