A WOEID (Where On Earth IDentifier) is a unique 32-bit reference identifier, originally defined by GeoPlanet and now assigned by Yahoo!, that identifies any feature on Earth.[1] In 2009, Yahoo! released GeoPlanet's WOEID data to the public,[2] with the last release on 1 June 2012, after which Yahoo! decided to cease making the data downloadable until they "determine a better way to surface the data as a part of the service".[3]
E.g. Berlin does not know about Germany, which itself doesn't know about Europe and so forth.[clarification needed] GeoPlanet records, or places as they are called by Yahoo!, always (except one) have a reference to its parent place and therefore offer relations between places like the following:[8]
Parent (direct surrounding place)
Child (direct sub-places)
Siblings (places sharing the same parent and place type)
Ancestors (set of all parents)
If you take e.g. our company's district you will get the following family tree:
