Dataset Selection
|
|
GED Datasets are defined by authorship, however they are
grouped by database according to their geographic compatibility. Each database
is defined by geographic coverage, reference system, and projection. Resolution
will vary between global, regional, and local databases, but may also vary
within a database. Databases contained on this website are presented as follows:
GLGEO: Global coverage -
Geodetic projection
SEAGEO: Southeast Asia coverage -
Geodetic projection
USALB: Conterminous United States coverage -
Albers projection
