Important

The specification for placetypes is derived from the whosonfirst-placetypes package. For example:

$> /usr/local/mapzen/whosonfirst-placetypes/bin/compile.py | python -mjson.tool 
{
    "102312307": {
        "name": "country",
        "names": {},
        "parent": [
            102312335,
            102312309
        ],
        "role": "common"
    },
    "102312309": {
        "name": "continent",
        "names": {},
        "parent": [
            102312341
        ],
        "role": "common"
    },
    "102312311": {
        "name": "region",
        "names": {},
        "parent": [
            102312307
        ],
        "role": "common"
    }
    ...
}

The specification itself is hardcoded in mapzen/whosonfirst/placetypes/_init_.py. Whether or the specification can or should be loaded from a config file or equivalent has been left for another day.
