 ### Theme-specific updates
-
 Overture `2023-07-26-alpha.0` is being released in four themes:
 
 **Places Theme**
-The Places theme includes Point of Interest (POI) Data on approximately 59M places worldwide. Place records include the name, address, pin location, category and social media handles to the extent these are available. The data also includes a confidence score for each record. The sources of the Places theme include Meta and Microsoft places data. The Places data is formated in the Overture Maps schema for Places.

 **Buildings Theme**
-The Buildings theme includes building footprint and height data as available. It includes approximately 785M building outlines worldwide. The sources include OpenStreetMap, Microsoft Building footprints and Esri Community Partners. Some building heights have also been derived using lidar from USGS 3DEP. The Building data is in the Overture Maps data schema for Buildings.

 **Transportation Theme**
-The transportation theme includes road networks data based on OpenStreetMap. This release is a demonstration of our Shape and Connectivity model of the transportation network, and also showcases how Geometric Scoping (LR) interacts with a subset of the final properties. The data has been put into the Overture Maps data schema for transportation. As such, the data has been re-segmented and structured with some conditional attributes. For example, scoping dimensions related to speed limits have geometric scoping when speed limits change along a road segment.

 ### Theme-specific updates
-
 Overture `2023-10-19-alpha.0` is released in five themes.
 
 **Base Theme**
 The Base theme is an entirely new theme with 3 subTypes: land, landUse, and water. The overall purpose of this new theme is to allow users to create a complete map using any Overture release. Descriptions of the subTypes for Base are:
-
 - land: Physical representations of land surfaces. Derived from the inverse of OSM Coastlines.
 - landUse: Classifications of the human use of a section of land. Mostly derived from the key landuse in OpenStreetMap
 - water: Physical representations of inland and ocean marine surfaces. Derived from OSM Coastlines, and the keys natural and waterway in OpenStreetMap.

 A sample set of 1.6M buildings from OpenStreetMap and Esri have been assigned an initial GERS ID for demonstration purposes. These IDs are 32 character strings. By referencing these other datasets to this data release, we can match GERS IDs to external datasets and demonstrate how GERS can enable ID-based joins between two geospatial datasets. These are located in the following cities:

 **Administrative Boundaries (Admins) Theme**
 The Admins theme includes multiple locality types:
-
 - Countries formed from OpenStreetMap relations, primarily admin_level=2, with few exceptions such as admin_level=3 French Polynesia.
 - First-level subdivisions under the country which was mapped from OpenStreetMap admin_level depending on country, in most countries admin_level=4.
 - Second-level subdivisions under the country which was mapped from OpenStreetMap admin_level depending on country, in most countries admin_level=6.
-- Cities, Town, Villages, Neighborhoods... based on place=_ tag. In most cases these are just points. When relation with place=_ tag exist we provide polygon geometry.
+- Cities, Town, Villages, Neighborhoods... based on place=* tag. In most cases these are just points. When relation with place=* tag exist we provide polygon geometry.
 
 It also includes administrative boundaries representing borders of countries, first-level subdivisions and second-level subdivisions. The Administrative Boundary data is in the Overture Maps data schema for Admin.
 Second-level subdivision did not undergo worldwide inspection of quality so some missing or wrong data is expected. All first-level subdivisions have `type=state` and all second-level subdivisions have `type=county` which is not always true; we plan to address this issue in future releases. We plan to use admin_level=8,9,10 to add polygons to cities, town, villages and other localities when available depending on individual country mapping.
