Gazetteer Entry

Example Usage

Example for the Herat region of Afghanistan - which has an ID of 1140026 on geonames.org.
To find Herat on geonames.org you would create a link like this: http://www.geonames.org/1140026/
The IATI gazeteer-ref for geonames is “GEO”, so the element would look like: 

<location>
  ....
  <gazetteer-entry gazeteer-ref="GEO">1140026</gazetteer-entry>
  ....
</location>
