Bulgaria

Q: In what language are the data and documentation provided?

The dataset is provided in English (Romanized script).
· Place Names: Transliterated from Cyrillic to Latin characters (e.g., "Sofia", "Plovdiv", "Varna") to ensure compatibility with international systems.
· Descriptions: Columns like street_no contain English descriptions (e.g., "odd numbers from 1 to 31").

Q: How do I interpret the 'street_no' column?

Unlike datasets that use simple integer ranges, this column contains a textual rule defining the coverage of the postal code.
Common patterns include:
· "all numbers": The code applies to the entire street or square.
· "even numbers from X to Y": Applies only to even house numbers within the specified range.
· "odd numbers from X to Y": Applies only to odd house numbers within the specified range.
· "block": In some residential areas, addresses are defined by a building block number rather than a street number.

Q: What types of locations are found in the 'locality' column?

The locality field is quite versatile in this dataset. It describes the specific area covered and can include:
· Neighborhoods/Quarters: Specific residential districts (e.g., "Tintyava").
· Landmarks: Major points of interest (e.g., "stadium Vasil Levski").
· Squares: Public squares (e.g., "square Narodno sabranie").
· General Areas: Broad descriptions like "center".

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Bulgaria uses a 4-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 1000, 4000). This is found in the postal_code column. The postal_region column often combines this code with the city name and the prefix "p.k." (e.g., "p.k. 1000 Sofia").

Q: What is the administrative hierarchy in the dataset?

The data follows a three-tier structure:
· Oblast: The Province, the highest-level administrative division (e.g., "Sofia").
· Municipality: The local government unit (e.g., "Sofia").
· Locality: The specific town, village, or urban district.
