What this release covers
One maintained release connects persistent place identity, display-ready map geometry, and exact query representations without treating them as interchangeable files.
Global named-water, physical-surface, and maritime-jurisdiction geometry released independently from country administrative programs.
One maintained release connects persistent place identity, display-ready map geometry, and exact query representations without treating them as interchangeable files.
Marine zones may overlap one another and country geometry. Relationships and sovereign crosswalks are explicit; overlap does not imply administrative parentage.
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.
Named lakes, reservoirs, rivers, seas, and other water identities that may cross administrative boundaries.
Overlapping or adjacent maritime zones published for legal and policy reference, including territorial seas, contiguous zones, EEZs, internal and archipelagic waters, high seas, and continental-shelf submissions; never represented as an administrative hierarchy or authoritative legal determination.
Global physical land, water, coastline, and mask geometry used for rendering, clipping, and spatial classification rather than political identity.
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.
Marine identities, aliases, source attributes, and country relationships without boundary shapes.
Marine Geometry Lite plus simplified global water and maritime-zone shapes for mapping.
Marine Geometry Lite plus exact source-derived shapes and spatial predicate indexes.
