Available geography families

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.

Local download packages

Lite contains identities and crosswalks, Display adds simplified map geometry, and Detail adds the highest-resolution maintained geometry. A package appears as downloadable only after artifact and public-reachability QA passes.

Release QA

  • The official Admin 0-4 spine preserves source-published sparse hierarchies instead of inventing intermediate parents.
  • Municipal-seat points remain a place sidechain and never become administrative parentage.
  • Seven communes without an official municipal-seat point remain explicit gaps.
  • Display and downloadable derivatives are deferred until Full is published.
