What is required for S3 misc folder imports?

#S3 Imports

While we can never account for all edge cases, we can develop an import strategy for the majority of issues. Things will break and we will fix them. Here is a brief rundown of what is required of .geojson files placed in the whosonfirst.mapzen.com S3 misc folder:

##We must always have the following attributes:

• id: (wof:id)
• placetype: (wof:placetype)
• name: (wof:name)
• country: (ideally: iso:country / otherwise: wof:country)
• parent id: (wof:parent_id)

##We should not include the following:

• Un-prefixed attribute headings (ex: name, parent, or id)
• Descendant ids (we don’t need to include child ids)

##For one-off parenting issues:

• Do not include a valid wof:parent_id of one of the parent records.
• Instead, include one of the following values:
  • -1 (unknown, needs review)
  • -2 (shrug, really complicated)
  • -3 (contested, but not disputed.. ex: multiple parent records)
