The enrichment of observations is a group of actions and/or replacements that take place over an observation in the process of delivering it ot its final destination or topic. They are placeholder substitutions, geolocation substitutions, proximity updates.
 
  
=== Placeholder substitution ===
 
 
A placeholder is a string with format #{placeholder_name} than can be used in certain fields of an observation where the placeholder substitution takes place. Actually there are three fields where this kind of substitution is considered:
 
 
* topic
 
* producer
 
* targetthings
 
 
Some substitutions occur in the process of building the observation in applications in the edge like the [[M2MBridge]] and others occur after the observation is sent to the AMTech's platform. This is mostly geolocation substitutions which is a special kind of placeholder substitution.
 
 
=== Geolocation substitution ===
 
 
This is about doing placeholder substitution of a group of geolocation attributes than can be determined by using the <code>location</code> field of an observation. Based on the [[WKT]] that is given in the <code>location</code> field, a process of reverse geolocation is run and the address is determined when possible. These fields are then replaced if they appear in the <code>topic</code>, <code>producer</code> or <code>targetthings</code> fields of the original observation JSON.
 
 
* <code>#{country}</code> or <code>#{country_code}</code>
 
* #{state} or </code>#{province}</code>
 
* #{postcode} or #{postal code} or #{zip code}
 
* #{city} or #{town}
 
* #{suburb} or #{residential} or #{city_district} or #{municipality} or #{neighbourhood}
 
 
=== Proximity updates ===
