GISCO - Administrative units 2010 at country level, Aug. 2012

This data set contains the administrative boundaries at country level of the world and is based on the geometry from EBM v5.0. of EuroGeographics for the members of Eurogeographics, the Global Administrative Units Layer (2008) from FAO (UN) and geometry from the Turkish National Statistical Office. This dataset consists of 2 feature classes (regions, boundaries) per scale level and there are 6 different scale levels (100K, 1M, 3M, 10M, 20M and 60M). The public data set (1M - 60M) is available for download at http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/gisco_Geographical_information_maps/popups/references/administrative_units_statistical_units_1

The full data set (100K - 60M) is available to EEA due to EEA having a valid EBM v5.0 licence.

These metadata are derived from the original metadata records available at Inspire@EC.

      This data set should be referred to as "Countries, 2010 - European Commission, Eurostat/GISCO" An overview of the use conditions is given below. The detailed use conditions are available here: https://circabc.europa.eu/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/6f5186f3-908b-413a-8687-191604976751/EuroGeographics%20Use%20Conditions%20-%20From%20Contract.pdf Access to the detailed data is restricted to the personnel of the European Commission, the Executive Agencies and contractors, due to intellectual property rights. The contractors can access the data after signing an agreement form. The agreement form can be requested by the responsible service from European Commission - Eurostat/GISCO ( ESTAT-GISCO@ec.europa.eu). Once the form has been signed, access will be provided by European Commission - Eurostat/GISCO. Data can be published in the form of electronic images, statistical tables and on paper. Subsets of this data can be made available to the general public for non commercial use, only if the data covered either has a spatial resolution of 1:1.000.000 or smaller, or less than 20% of the original EuroGeographics data is shown for the selected extent.

      Statement

      The dataset is based on the geometry from EBM v5.0. of EuroGeographics for the members of Eurogeographics, the Global Administrative Units Layer (2008) from FAO (UN) and geometry from the Turkish National Statistical Office. This resulted in a common repository of geometry of which the different datasets were derived. The different scale levels were derived of generalisations of the common repository on 100K scale. This means that within each scale level the feature classes of all these datasets: COMM_2010, NUTS_2010, CNTR_2010, EEZ_2010 and COAS_2010, are fully coherent and compliant. Each scale level in the CNTR_2010 dataset consists of 2 feature classes (regions and boundaries) The boundaries and regions are related to each other through a relationship table. In addition to the region and boundary feature classes there is also 1 label feature class which is scale independent. For each CNTR in the region feature class there is exactly 1 label. Further information on the validity and lineage is available in the database manual on the INSPIRE@EC group on CIRCABC. https://circabc.europa.eu/w/browse/bf8ae55b-a09b-4f24-a0b8-1f5784e0080c
