Coordinates are only taken from JSON-LD / embedded JSON / map links published by the operator — never geocoded. Status defaults to `operational` unless the page uses pipeline wording (under construction / coming soon / planned).1415## Discovery1617- Sitemaps: `https://www.globalswitch.com/page-sitemap.xml`, `https://www.globalswitch.com/post-sitemap.xml`18- Include: `/data-centres/[a-z-]+/$`, `/announcement/`19- Exclude: `\?`, `#`20- Classify: `/data-centres/[a-z-]+/$` → facility_pages (facility_page); `/announcement/.` → newsroom (press_release)2122Newsroom URLs (when configured) rely on the GenericConnector news fallback (press_release → `news_event` when data-center relevant).2324## Schedule & fetch2526- Schedule: facility_pages weekly, newsroom daily, sitemap weekly27- Fetch: L1→L2, 15 rpm, concurrency 2, robots.txt respected, max 20 premium credits/run.
