+The [details](NominatimAPI.md#nominatim_api.NominatimAPI.details) and
+[lookup](NominatimAPI.md#nominatim_api.NominatimAPI.lookup) functions
+require references to places in the database. Below the possible
+types for place identification are listed. All types are dataclasses.
+
+### PlaceID

+::: nominatim_api.PlaceID
     options:
         heading_level: 6
 
-::: nominatim.api.OsmID
+### OsmID
+
+::: nominatim_api.OsmID
     options:
         heading_level: 6
 
-## Geometries
+## Geometry types
 
-::: nominatim.api.GeometryFormat
+::: nominatim_api.GeometryFormat
     options:
         heading_level: 6
+        members_order: source
+
+## Geometry input
+
+### Point
 
-::: nominatim.api.Point
+::: nominatim_api.Point
     options:

+Layers allow to restrict the search result to thematic groups. This is
+orthogonal to restriction by address ranks, which groups places by their
+geographic extent.
