GISCO data distribution API
This dataset provides world administrative boundaries at country level, published via GISCO, the European Commission's geographic information system. It draws on EuroGeographics' EBM v12.x geometry for Eurogeographics member countries, FAO's Global Administrative Units Layer (2015), and geometry from the Turkish National Statistical Office. It comprises two feature classes (regions and boundaries) across six scale levels: 100K, 1M, 3M, 10M, 20M and 60M. The public version, covering scales 1M to 60M, is available for download, while the full 100K-60M dataset (GISCO.CNTR_2016) is accessible only through a restricted European Commission download link.This data set contains the administrative boundaries at country level of the world and is based on the geometry from EBM v12.x. of EuroGeographics for the members of Eurogeographics, the Global Administrative Units Layer (2015) 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).
