Rename geoip to location
See original GitHub issueThe current geoip
fields (https://github.com/elastic/ecs#geoip) are inspired by the geoip ingest processor form Elasticsearch (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/6.2/using-ingest-geoip.html). In recent discussion around geo fields it became clear not all geo information is coming necessarly from an ip address and there is also geo / location information which does not necessarly can be extracted from an ip.
I would like to suggest to rename geoip
fields to location
. I was also thinking of renaming it to geo
but I think location
is more specific.

My preference is
geo
andgeo.location
. “Geo” is a common designation in the GIS industry (Geospatial, GeoJSON, Geographic Information Systems). And, imo, it’s a better specifier as a top level element thanlocation
since “location” may also be used in non-spatial contexts (URLs, files on disk).+1 to renaming
geoip
tolocation
. This would allow folks to place anywhere
-style data in this set, such as: region, cloud platform, datacenter, rack, building number, address, zip code, etc.Not all
where
have “geo” or “ip” concepts, so I thinklocation
matches much more nicely.
