About this dataset

Chile (CL) — internal licensing notes

Status: rebuilt and resolved, per datahub-next#941 §1.2 and the 2026-08-13 comment on that issue (not done in this session — recorded here for institutional memory since I did not do this rebuild myself).

The problem that triggered it (issue #941 §1.2)

"GeoNames deliberately truncates Chilean codes: 'For Chile we have only
the first digits (for copyright reasons)'. Correos de Chile returned 403,
and the workaround was an unattributed GitHub repo found via local-language
search. At our highest price point."

What was done (per the issue comment, 2026-08-13)

Rebuilt from GeoNames' raw CL export to replace an unpackaged, buggy legacy copy:

Fixed leading-zero stripping on admin_code1/admin_code3
Corrected GeoNames' non-official region numbering — derived from the comuna-code prefix instead, verified 100% self-consistent against Chile's real INE codes
Added CC BY 4.0 attribution and a proper datapackage.json/README/zip bundle where none existed before

One known, disclosed-not-fixed gap remains: ~21 Ñuble-region comunas are still coded under the pre-2018 Biobío split, because no current comuna→region reference was available to correct it at the time.

Open questions the issue itself flagged, still unanswered

Correos de Chile's terms of use (their legal pages did not render during the review)
Chilean statutory position on compilation/database protection is unconfirmed — do not rely on a "facts aren't protected" argument without local counsel
