Explanatory document for newbies #16

Open ddooley opened 5 years ago

ddooley commented 5 years ago

GAZ needs an explanatory document for newbies – how to get a country's 2nd level subdivisions, whether they are states/provinces/territories/regions etc. and the linkage between geopolitical levels of government entities using "located in". Same for municipalities, villages, ENVO human habitation etc… Unless there is some documentation about this that I don't know about?

Yes! This is something that can be done independent on tackling the bigger Q of how GAZ should be maintained. I suggest either (1) putting all this in the main README.md or (2) using the wiki on this GH repo. Either way the text will be markdown and can easily be transferred.

This will be dependent on #20

Any documentation we write on how to do this on the class representation will not be applicable to the instance one
