Research direction

Start by inspecting the Colombia data at https://i18napis.appspot.com/address/data/CO and the repository's existing subdivision data format. Use the cited ISO 3166-2 and Colombian postal-code sources to identify the departments, cities, towns, and postal codes; the work is done when Colombia's address data includes the requested subdivisions in the project's expected format.

Description

on hold

Hi, seems that the information for Colombian subdivisions are not present in https://i18napis.appspot.com/address/data/CO

They can be retrieved from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:CO

The format is:

Administrative Area = Department
Locality = City
Dependant Locality = Town
Postal Code = Postal Code

Also, there is csv file that can be used as an official starting point to get postal codes and cities. http://visor.codigopostal.gov.co/472/visor/Codigos_Postales_Nacionales.csv or this one: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Códigos_postales_de_Colombia

There is also a shape format file http://visor.codigopostal.gov.co/472/visor/Shapefile_Codigo_Postal.zip
