One of the examples in the package
A layered SVG coloured from a table with a few lines of plain JavaScript: every entity is a path whose id is its official code. The page shows a part of the country: the two levels share the same borders, so they fit without gaps. The package has every entity of every level.
Tyrol: the municipalities of the district of Innsbruck-Land, coloured by area, among the other districts.
What is in the package
Levels and identifiers
| Level | Entities | Identifier |
|---|---|---|
| country | 1 | AT |
| states | 9 | AT-R-<official code> |
| districts | 94 | AT-P-<official code> |
| municipalities | 2,092 | AT-M-<official code> |
Every entity has the same identifier in every file: it is the feature id in GeoJSON and TopoJSON, the id of the path in SVG and the id column of the tables.
Formats and scales
| Format | full | 100m | 1km | 10km | light |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GeoJSON | 83.8 MB | 5.4 MB | 1.2 MB | 46 KB | 830 KB |
| TopoJSON | 12.7 MB | 1.6 MB | 755 KB | 32 KB | 297 KB |
| Shapefile | 87.9 MB | 4.4 MB | 923 KB | 35 KB | 671 KB |
| SVG | - | 5.7 MB | 1.1 MB | 44 KB | 877 KB |
full: the boundaries as published by the source.100m: simplified within 100 m and coherent: municipalities, districts and states share exactly the same border vertices.1km: simplified within 1 km and coherent like100m, every level: the whole country on a web map.10km: simplified within 10 km and coherent, country, states and districts only: small maps and maps of many countries.- At the borders with the neighbouring countries (Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia and Switzerland) the
100m,1kmand10kmboundaries share the same vertices as in their packages, so the maps fit without gaps or overlaps. light: country, states and districts only, each level simplified on its own to a small file.- GeoJSON: one FeatureCollection per level, WGS84. TopoJSON: all the levels in one topology, shared borders are shared arcs.
- GeoPackage:
data/geopackage/at.gpkg(98.6 MB), one file for QGIS and ArcGIS with every level at every scale as a layer (municipalities_100m) with its spatial index, and every table of the package. - Shapefile: one per level and scale, WGS84, UTF-8; the columns longer than ten characters are shortened (
region,province,abbrev). - SVG: one file per level and one with every level as a layer, in a Lambert conformal conic projection; they open as layers in Illustrator, Figma and Inkscape.
- SQL: a script for PostGIS, one for MySQL 8 and one for SQL Server (5.5 MB each). It creates one table with every entity of every level, its
100mboundary in WGS84 and its indexes. - JSON:
data/json/tree.json(182 KB), the levels nested and sorted by name, without boundaries: what the select boxes of a form need.

tables/codes.csv |

Every entity in other datasets, as Wikidata declares it: the Wikidata item, ISO 3166-2, GeoNames and the OpenStreetMap relation.
id, level, code, wikidata, iso_3166_2, geonames, osm_relation
|
tables/names.csv |
2,432 |
Every name an entity is written with (official, each side of a bilingual name, translated), without accents and as a slug: to match a file that has names and no codes.

tables/neighbours.csv |
12,482 |
The entities of the same level that share a border, both ways, with the length of the shared border in km.
level, id, neighbour_id, shared_border_km
|
tables/history.csv |
0 |
The suppressed municipalities with the one that replaced them, for archives that still have the old codes; no rows where the official source gives no history.
code, name, province_code, replaced_by_code, replaced_by_name
|
tables/changes.csv |
0 |
What changed from one edition of the package to the next, one row per entity added, removed, renamed, moved or with a new boundary: the same as CHANGELOG.md.
