Hi,
I've been experimenting with the CREST districts data. I just noticed a hole in one. I've put the hole lot at http://pastebin.com/CEi9auiW. If you search that, you'll see that there's only 244 "owner" objects, where normally there's 245. The other data for that district was present, but not the owner.
This was from roughly 2013-09-19 05:15:00 UTC, if I've figured out my timestamps correctly.
I've checked my database and raw files, and I suspect this may have happened more than once, though I'm not too sure yet.
Thanks |

It is possible that a district doesn't have an owner[it is an optional field].
lets say corp A owns a single district.
Corp A disbands.
Next downtime the District will have no owner.

That is expected behaviour... if you have access to the docs... which we have not made publicly available yet... sorry about that.
Basically the owner field is optional, as specified in the mimetype. CREST behaviour is to not send empty attributes down the wire. If owner is empty, owner will not be transmitted at all. The same goes for things like infrastructure. While all PC districts have an infrastructure things like FW districts do not. So if we make those available you will see the same behaviour there.

Thanks for the reply!
So for now, am I right to think then if the owner field is blank for any of these current 245 districts, then it is because it has no owner?
Also, if you feel so inclined I would happily accept a copy of these non-public docs to my email account [email protected], which I would not share with anyone or reveal that I had received ;) |

Correct, if there is no owner field in the reply then there is no owner.
