## Implementation Details

### NominatimClient

**API**: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org
**Rate Limit**: 1 request/second (STRICTLY ENFORCED)

Features:
- Mutex-based rate limiter to ensure 1 req/sec compliance
- Required User-Agent header for OSM policy compliance
- Three main methods:
  - `geocode(address)` - Address to coordinates
  - `reverse_geocode(lat, lon)` - Coordinates to address
  - `search(query, limit)` - Place name search

Metadata captured:
- `place_id`, `osm_type`, `osm_id`
- `latitude`, `longitude`
- `display_name`, `place_type`, `importance`
- `city`, `country`, `country_code`

### OverpassClient

**API**: https://overpass-api.de/api
**Rate Limit**: ~2 requests/second (conservative)

Features:
- Custom Overpass QL query execution
- Built-in helpers for common queries:
  - `get_nearby_pois(lat, lon, radius, amenity)` - Find POIs
  - `get_roads(south, west, north, east)` - Get road network
- Support for all OSM tags

Metadata captured:
- `osm_id`, `osm_type`
- `latitude`, `longitude`
- `name`, `amenity`, `highway`
- All OSM tags as `osm_tag_*`

### GeonamesClient

**API**: http://api.geonames.org

**Auth**: Requires username from geonames.org

Features:
- Four main methods:
  - `search(query, limit)` - Place name search
  - `get_nearby(lat, lon)` - Nearby places

- `feature_class`, `feature_code`
- `population`

### OpenElevationClient

**API**: https://api.open-elevation.com/api/v1
**Rate Limit**: ~5 requests/second
**Auth**: None required

Features:
- Two main methods:
  - `get_elevation(lat, lon)` - Single point
  - `get_elevations(locations)` - Batch lookup
- Uses SRTM data for worldwide coverage

Metadata captured:
- `latitude`, `longitude`
- `elevation_m` (meters above sea level)

## Technical Architecture

### Rate Limiting Strategy

Each client implements appropriate rate limiting:

```rust
// Nominatim: STRICT 1 req/sec with Mutex
last_request: Arc<Mutex<Option<Instant>>>

async fn enforce_rate_limit(&self) {
    let mut last = self.last_request.lock().await;
    if let Some(last_time) = *last {
        let elapsed = last_time.elapsed();
        if elapsed < self.rate_limit_delay {
            sleep(self.rate_limit_delay - elapsed).await;
        }
    }
    *last = Some(Instant::now());
}

// Other clients: Simple delay
sleep(self.rate_limit_delay).await;
```

### SemanticVector Integration

All responses are converted to RuVector's `SemanticVector` format:

```rust
fn convert_*(&self, data) -> Result<Vec<SemanticVector>> {
    let text = format!("..."); // Create searchable text
    let embedding = self.embedder.embed_text(&text);

    SemanticVector {
        id: format!("SOURCE:{}", id),
        embedding,
        domain: Domain::CrossDomain,
        timestamp: Utc::now(),
        metadata, // Geographic metadata
    }
}
```

### Error Handling

All clients use the framework's error types:

```rust
async fn fetch_with_retry(&self, url: &str) -> Result<Response> {
    let mut retries = 0;
    loop {
        match self.client.get(url).send().await {
            Ok(response) => {
                if response.status() == StatusCode::TOO_MANY_REQUESTS
                   && retries < MAX_RETRIES {
                    retries += 1;
                    sleep(Duration::from_millis(RETRY_DELAY_MS * retries as u64)).await;
                    continue;
                }
                return Ok(response);
            }
            Err(_) if retries < MAX_RETRIES => {
                retries += 1;
                sleep(Duration::from_millis(RETRY_DELAY_MS * retries as u64)).await;
            }
            Err(e) => return Err(FrameworkError::Network(e)),
        }
    }
}
```

### Running Tests

```bash
# All geospatial tests
cargo test geospatial

# Specific tests
cargo test nominatim
cargo test test_nominatim_rate_limiting

# Build verification
cargo build --lib
```

## GeoUtils Integration

All clients leverage the existing `GeoUtils` from `physics_clients.rs`:

```rust
// Distance calculation (Haversine formula)
let distance = GeoUtils::distance_km(
    lat1, lon1,
    lat2, lon2
);

// Radius check
let within = GeoUtils::within_radius(
    center_lat, center_lon,
    point_lat, point_lon,
    radius_km
);
```

## Usage Examples

### Basic Geocoding
```rust
let client = NominatimClient::new()?;
let results = client.geocode("Eiffel Tower, Paris").await?;
```

### Finding Nearby POIs
```rust
let client = OverpassClient::new()?;
let cafes = client.get_nearby_pois(48.8584, 2.2945, 500.0, "cafe").await?;
```

### Place Search
```rust
let client = GeonamesClient::new(username)?;
let results = client.search("Paris", 10).await?;
```

### Elevation Lookup
```rust
let client = OpenElevationClient::new()?;
let elevation = client.get_elevation(27.9881, 86.9250).await?;
```

### Cross-Domain Discovery
```rust
let mut engine = NativeDiscoveryEngine::new(config);

// Add geospatial data
for place in nominatim_results {
    engine.add_vector(place);
}

// Add earthquake data
for eq in usgs_results {
    engine.add_vector(eq);
}

// Detect patterns linking earthquakes to populated areas
let patterns = engine.detect_patterns();
```

## API Compliance

### OpenStreetMap Policy Compliance

✅ **User-Agent**: All OSM services include proper User-Agent
```rust
const USER_AGENT: &str = "RuVector-Data-Framework/1.0 (https://github.com/ruvnet/ruvector)";
```

✅ **Rate Limiting**: Nominatim strictly enforces 1 req/sec
```rust
const NOMINATIM_RATE_LIMIT_MS: u64 = 1000; // 1 second
```

✅ **Attribution**: OSM data usage properly attributed in metadata
```rust
metadata.insert("source".to_string(), "nominatim".to_string());
```

### Service Limits

| Service | Free Tier Limit | Implementation |
|---------|----------------|----------------|
| Nominatim | 1 req/sec | Strictly enforced with Mutex |
| Overpass | No hard limit | Conservative 2 req/sec |
| GeoNames | 2000/hour | Conservative 0.5 req/sec |
| OpenElevation | No hard limit | Light 5 req/sec delay |
