 Facility ontology defines how Azure Maps Creator internally stores facility data in a Creator dataset.  In addition to defining internal facility data structure, facility ontology is also exposed externally through the WFS API. When WFS API is used to query facility data in a dataset, the response format is defined by the ontology supplied to that dataset.

 The Azure Maps [Conversion service] lets you convert uploaded drawing packages into map data. Drawing packages must adhere to the [Drawing package requirements]. If one or more requirements aren't met, then the Conversion service returns errors or warnings. This article lists the conversion error and warning codes, with recommendations on how to resolve them. It also provides some examples of drawings that can cause the Conversion service to return these codes.
 
 The Conversion service succeeds if there are any conversion warnings. However, it's recommended that you review and resolve all warnings. A warning means part of the conversion was ignored or automatically fixed. Failing to resolve the warnings could result in errors in latter processes.

 The *Drawing Error Visualizer* is a stand-alone web application that displays [Drawing package warnings and errors] detected during the conversion process. The Error Visualizer web application consists of a static page that you can use without connecting to the internet.  You can use the Error Visualizer to fix errors and warnings in accordance with [Drawing package requirements]. The [Azure Maps Conversion API] returns a response with a link to the Error Visualizer only when an error is detected.
