This property links to the Geographic Names Register maintained by the National Land Survey of Finland. The underlying URI-service is an unofficial experimental beta service. Susanna Ånäs (Susannaanas) (talk) 09:12, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since the example is a municipality, I think your type of items should probably allow more than just a point location. Instead: geographic region (Q82794). --99of9 (talk) 12:50, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- That would be OK. The data is in fact points, since the register is about name items and their coordinate locations on maps. But the service is being developed and may change. In any case allow both. – Susanna Ånäs (Susannaanas) (talk) 05:44, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- To be clear, the datatype is an external ID, not coordinates or shape. – Susanna Ånäs (Susannaanas) (talk) 12:02, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
