This page is a bit of a sandbox where we will hash out how we will match geographic name data for the LINZ data import's geographic_name layer (previously named geo_name in the V16 version of the dataset). The full list is stored in the LINZ-2-OSM web app with JavaScript logic. When complete we will publish the data_dtd.xml file here.- See the LINZ OSM wiki page for more info about the import.
- See the LINZ data sets page for a list of LINZ datasets. The LINZ online data dictionary which explains each layer in detail can be found here.
- See the LINZ attribute matching wiki page for more traditional geo-feature tag matching.
geographic_name
- These are all named point features. (
