Users using individual boundary files from geoBoundaries should additionally ensure that they are citing the sources provided in the metadata for each file. ==================================================== Column Definitions ==================================================== boundaryID - A unique ID created for every boundary in the geoBoundaries database by concatenating ISO 3166-1 3 letter country code, boundary level, geoBoundaries version, and an ID based on the geometry. boundaryISO - The ISO 3166-1 3-letter country codes for each boundary. boundaryYear - The year(s) for which a boundary is representative. In cases where this is a range, the format is 'DATE-START TO DATE-END'. boundaryType - The type of boundary defined (i.e., ADM0 is equivalent to a country border; ADM1 a state. Levels below ADM1 can vary in definition by country.) boundarySource - The name of the sources for the boundary definition used (with most boundaries having two identified sources). boundaryLicense - The specific license the data is released under. licenseDetail - Any details necessary for the interpretation or use of the license noted. licenseSource - A URL declaring the license under which a data product is made available. boundarySourceURL - A URL from which source data was retrieved. sourceDataUpdateDate - A date encoded following ISO 8601 (Year-Month-Date) describing the last date this boundary was updated, for use in programmatic updating based on new releases. buildDate - The date the geoBoundary files were generated. downloadURL - A URL from which the geoBoundary can be downloaded. shapeID - The boundary ID, followed by the letter `B' and a unique integer for each shape which is a member of that boundary. shapeName - The identified name for a given shape. '' if not identified. shapeGroup - The country or similar organizational group that a shape belongs to, in ISO 3166-1 where relevant. shapeType - The type of boundary represented by the shape. shapeISO - ISO codes for individual administrative districts, where available. Where possible, these conform to ISO 3166-2, but this is not guaranteed in all cases. 'None' if not identified. boundaryCanonical - Canonical name(s) for the administrative hierarchy represented. Present where available. ==================================================== Reporting Issues or Errors ==================================================== We track issues associated with the geoBoundaries dataset publically, and any individual can contribute comments through our github repository: https://github.com/wmgeolab/geoBoundaries ==================================================== Disclaimer ==================================================== With respect to the works on or made available through download from www.geoboundaries.org, we make no representations or warranties—express, implied, or statutory—as to the validity, accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose; nor represent that use of such works would not infringe privately owned rights; nor assume any liability resulting from use of such works; and shall in no way be liable for any costs, expenses, claims, or demands arising out of use of such works. ==================================================== Thank you for citing your use of geoBoundaries and reporting any issues you find - as a non-profit academic project, your citations are what keeps geoBoundaries alive. -Dan Runfola (github.com/DanRunfola ; [email protected])
