[Freegis-list] FreeGIS Worlddata with political boundaries

[Silke Reimer]

Hallo!

Based on the VMAP0 R3 I created a free geodata set with the countries
of the world, called FreeGIS Worlddata.  The 2-letter codes that
represent a country has been guarded. The datasets comes also with a
conversion between those 2-letter codes and the IS0 369-1 2-letter
codes so that is is possible to link the geodata to some interesting
attribute data.

The geodata is available in two different version. The first
one contains the original boundaries of VMAP0 while the second one
has been simplified using the Douglas-Peuker algorith (implemented
in PostGIS) with a tolerance of 0.2.

/freegis/worlddata/freegis_worlddata-0.1.tar.gz (16.2 MB!)
and
/freegis/worlddata/freegis_worlddata-0.1_simpl.tar.gz (only simplified version 930 KB)

Since our FTP-Server is is primarily for developers and mirrors, 
please be gentle and choose a mirror site from mirrors.txt for
downloads (see http://ftp.intevation.de/mirrors.txt )

Many greetings,

	Silke Reimer
