From guidance note: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I2zoe-_s75kwDKSkU8BRhAZiTy-Fn2FTiaW4BQFUzus/edit#

location-id:

For administrative areas this identifier should only be used if the location being defined is the administrative area itself. For describing the administrative area/s within which a location falls the location/administrative element should be used.

From @rolfkleef:

maybe adapt with similar text?

Note from @owenscott:

One slight complication is that both Geonames and OSM contain administrative areas as well as point locations.

Suggestion from @owenscott:

I'm not sure the best wording, but the idea is as follows:

location-id: The actual location being described.
administrative: The higher level administrative polygons within which the location being described is contained.


Schema description changes may therefore be needed @Bjwebb @bill-anderson

location-id:
A unique code describing the location according to a recognised gazetteer or administrative boundary repository. Administrative areas should only be reported here if the location being defined is the administrative area itself. For describing the administrative area/s within which a more specific location falls the location/administrative element should be used.
