  • year: Year of production/publication provide in the description page.
  • license: license of the data set, usually Domain public
  • tag: tagging image, values: standard or danger
  • url_doc: documentation/description page.
  • layers: what are the layer(s)/information(s) displayed within the set.
  • precision_max: max precision for 1px. Only for rasters files.
  • covered_area: geographic area covered by the data set
  • datum: datum type, usually WSG84 (also called WSG 1984, WSG 84)
  • projection: map projection, frequently "latlong"
  • extensions: zipped .ext → unzipped .ext
  • size_compressed: compressed size (usually in Kb/Mb), for download.
  • size_uncompressed: uncompressed size (usually in Kb/Mb), for storage.
  • tile_size: geographic size of each tile/file of the data set.
  • tiles_total: numbers of tiles/files in the whole data set.
  • comment: interest of the file for wikigraphists, usage.
  • editor_note: bug, limits of the data, need to check some parameters.
