DaedalMap
A country-scale geography release joining the Statistics Canada administrative spine to maintained reference families, historical relationships, display geometry, and exact query shapes.
One maintained release connects persistent place identity, display-ready map geometry, and exact query representations without treating them as interchangeable files.
Cloud and local identity, alias, hierarchy, and cross-reference queries.
Interactive app and map display; not authoritative for exact containment.
Precise boundary retrieval, measurement, and containment.
Memory-bounded local point lookup and containment execution.
A family is a recurring kind of geographic reference system. Only the selected complete hierarchy is the administrative spine; postal, electoral, health, watershed, and other systems remain independently versioned sidechains connected to it.
The one selected country hierarchy whose levels tile, nest, and cover their declared extent.
Census and statistical reporting areas that may extend the spine when they form a complete nested partition, or remain a sidechain otherwise.
Operational delivery regions or statistical approximations of postal geography, kept distinct by subtype and release.
Representation districts, constituencies, wards, precincts, and polling divisions with explicit election and release vintages.
Education governance and attendance systems, including valid overlapping public, separate, language, grade, or service roles.
Health authorities, delivery areas, local health regions, and service catchments kept separate from administrative parentage.
Natural drainage basins and hydrologic units, distinguished from operational water-management districts.
Protected and conserved sites, designations, zones, and management areas with their legal and spatial roles preserved.
Authority-defined Indigenous lands, settlement areas, treaty regions, and organization geographies without inferring legal status from overlap.
Gazetteer identities and aliases for populated, physical, cultural, and administrative features; this is how a settlement name can be searchable even when only a representative point is available.
Map sheets, survey grids, and indexing cells whose hierarchy is mathematical or cartographic rather than administrative.
Civil-time regions, legal exceptions, and seasonal regimes with authority and effective periods attached.
Functional regions for development, labor markets, benefits, or agency programs, retained as purpose-specific sidechains.
The first release uses three standalone ZIP recipes so their real compressed sizes and installation behavior can be measured. A package appears as downloadable only after artifact and public-reachability QA passes.
Identity, alias, version, and relationship tables without shapes.
The complete reference layer plus simplified geometry for local maps and previews.
Reference and display layers plus exact query geometry and predicate indexes.
