Define and transfer custom regions for GeoAreaServed #37

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In many I&R software packages, clients can define their own custom regions, 
making the assignment of coverage areas more streamlined, and also making 
searching easier. For example, "Central Florida" is Orange, Seminole, Volusia 
and Flagler counties.

Some vendors simply do not include those custom defined regions in their AIRS 
XML export, or if they do, they only refer to the name of the region but not 
its definition.

So for any GeoAreaServed entry that is not an official entity (State, County, 
City, Zip Code or Census Track), there must either be a corresponding 
definition of that custom entry by such official entities (preferred - probably 
as a new element type allowing only those geographic elements that are allowed 
in GeographicAreaServed), or by decoding those custom regions into a set of 
official entities.

Voting on this was split for inclusion.  Also, the version number was split.  
Requires an AIRS decision.

The easiest way to "custom define" a region is by an aggregation of already-defined areas given a label. Currently the XSD does allow an unbounded list of areas and we could add a label field.

@KristinaAnderson, this sounds acceptable. Please implement. Thanks!
