Sample data field names don't match actual data: au/countrywide (maybe others) #718

Hi there,

The au/countrywide sample data shows the following columns: id, number, street, unit, lon, lat, city, postcode, region, accuracy. The actual data has the following columns: id, number, street, unit, lon, lat, city, postcode, region, district, hash.

Specifically the difference is the real file lacks 'accuracy' and contains 'district' and 'hash' in addition. Not a big deal - but thought some consistency would be nice. Is there a reason for it being this way?

Cheers,

Luke

Hi Luke, thanks for asking. The sample we provide shows the upstream data columns to help OA contributors determine how to set up a source conform. Here are more extreme recent examples:

Fluvanna, VA sample vs. conform
México sample vs. conform

Hope that helps!
