COD-related naming conventions

Use of the following naming and formatting conventions is purely voluntary.

Suggested COD naming

‘COD-BB-CCC’ where:

BB is COD theme or type code:

AB = administrative boundaries

EM = edge-matched administrative boundaries

PS = population statistics

CCC is ISO3166 three-character code, such as ‘LBR' for Liberia. This convention is used in the HDX URL for each COD. For instance, the URL for the Liberia administrative boundaries COD is https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ab-lbr

Suggested administrative level naming

ADM0 for administrative level 0 (country)

ADM1 for administrative level 1

ADM2 for administrative level 2

etc.

Suggested feature name and P-code formatting

For maximum clarity the recommended format for writing feature names is in “quotation marks”.

The recommended format for writing P-codes is “[XYnnnnn]”. For example, the P-code for “Pitahaya”, in “Costa Rica” is [CR60102]".

The most recommended way of identifying a feature within one administrative level is “feature name [XYnnnnn]”. For example, “Pitahaya [CR60102]”. Although this is unambiguous, the most explicit way of identifying a feature within a country is to mention any higher administrative level feature names and P-codes. For example:

ADM3 feature “Pitahaya” [CR60102], in ADM2 feature “Puntarenas” [CR601], in ADM1 feature “Puntarenas” [CR6], in Costa Rica.
