---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
UNI |
|
Unique Name Identifier. A number which uniquely identifies a feature name. | A Feature may have more than one name, so which name will be referenced?
UFI identify the feature better. There is a possible of repeating the feature with every new name if importer relying in UNI to identify features | |||

ADM1 |
|
Primary administrative division code. A two character alpha-numeric code from the Geopolitical Entities and Codes (formerly FIPS 10-4 standard) that describes the primary administrative division of a feature, similar to a state level in the United States. For a description of these codes/values, please see the Look-up Tables.... | The value is coded so it must be decoded and put in is_in:state=*.
The location of feature and boundary in OSM may describe primary administrative division better. | |||

RC |
|
Region Font Code. A code that determines the equivalent characters used when generating the SORT and NO DIACRITICS (ND) feature names information rendered in Roman script.
1 = Americas/Western Europe; 2 = Eastern Europe; 3 = Africa/Middle East; 4 = Russia/ Central Asia; 5 = Asia/Pacific; 6 = Vietnam. |
The renderer will choose font according to the country and locale of name. | |||

Feature Class: Nine (9) major feature categories into which similar feature designations are grouped.
A = Administrative region P = Populated place V = Vegetation L = Locality or area U = Undersea R = Streets, highways, roads, or railroad T = Hypsographic H = Hydrographic S = Spot |

Primary Geopolitical Code. A two alphabetic character code from the Geopolitical Entities and Codes (formerly FIPS 10-4 standard) that uniquely identifies a feature's primary geopolitical entity (countries, dependencies, and areas of special sovereignty).
This field can contain one, or multiple comma separated non-spaced country codes to identify international (shared) features that run through multiple countries for up to 255 characters (example: Danube River - AU,BU,EZ…). |

FULL_NAME_ND |
|
Full name - reading order with no diacritics. Same as the full name but the character/diacritic combinations and special characters are substituted with QWERTY (visible U.S. English keyboard) characters while still maintaining casing and spaces.

FULL_NAME |

SORT_NAME_RO |
|
Sort name - reading order. A form of the full name that allows for alphabetical sorting of the file into gazetteer sequence. For Roman script names, all character/diacritic combinations and special characters are substituted with QWERTY (visible U.S. English keyboard) characters, all characters are upper-cased, numerals are converted to lower-case characters (0-9 = a-j), spaces and hyphens are stripped out, and commas replaced with a space. Additionally, for non-roman script names in languages using Arabic based letters. , vowel markings/pointers are removed.
