Location Namespaces

This is the official registry for location namespaces in StatusNet.

Locations in StatusNet are identified by an integer location ID and an integer location namespace. Any database that provides integer identities to locations can be used with StatusNet. However, each such database requires a unique namespace.

Namespace identifiers

 * 0 : local, private namespace. Only to be used by the local administrator, no third-party database should use this namespace!
 * 1 : Geonames
 * 2 : Yahoo! WOEIDs (Where On Earth IDs)
 * 3 : OpenStreetMap Name finder
