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

The dataset uses official Romanian names and abbreviations, which is the primary language of Moldova.
Important: The data contains Romanian-specific characters (ș, ț, ă, î, â). You must use UTF-8 encoding during import to display names like "Chişinău" or "Hînceşti" correctly.

Q: What do the common administrative abbreviations mean?

The dataset relies heavily on Romanian abbreviations for administrative types. Understanding these is essential for data processing:
· mun. (Municipiu): Municipality (major city with regional status, e.g., "mun. Chişinău").
· r-nul (Raionul): District (e.g., "r-nul Hînceşti").
· or. (Oraș): City or Town.
· sat. (Satul): Village.
· bd. (Bulevardul): Boulevard.
· str. (Strada): Street.

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

This column defines the specific house numbers covered by the postal code. Common patterns include:
· toate: Means "All" numbers on that street.
· Odd/Even Ranges: A format like "1-73, 2-124" implies the code covers odd numbers from 1 to 73 AND even numbers from 2 to 124.
· sf. (Sfârșit): Means "End". A range like "75-sf." covers number 75 through to the end of the street.

Q: Why is the `street` column empty for some records?

In rural areas (typically labeled with sat. for Village), the postal code often covers the entire settlement. In these cases, there is no need to specify a street name, so the street field is left empty. Address validation for these records should stop at the City/Village level.

Q: What is the format of the postal code?

Moldova uses a 4-digit numeric postal code (e.g., 2001, 3440). This is found in the postalcode column.

Q: What file formats are included in the delivery?

The package includes CSV, Excel (.xlsx), and TXT formats. All files are encoded in UTF-8 to strictly preserve Romanian diacritics.
