Every mapped area knows where it is
Map layers and downloads of statistics tables now carry standard location columns for every area, from the continent down to the area itself, beside the table's own columns.
Changes since 2.35.0.
#New
Standard location columns. Every area of a mapped statistics table, and every point of a table with coordinates, now carries standard location columns in map layers and full-table downloads:
- its region and continent;
- its country, with its ISO codes;
- each official level above it, with names and codes. Level 1 uses ISO 3166-2 codes such as KE-29 where they exist.
Tables can now be compared and combined at any level, whatever the publisher called their columns.
How each area was placed. Each area says how it was matched to the map (by code, by name, by name within its parent, or by its point's position) and how sure that match is. A point close to an area's edge is marked "near a boundary".
The table's own columns are unchanged. Where a table already has a column with one of these names, the table's column is kept as written and OrionGIS adds its own as
orion_<name>.
#Privacy
- Where OrionGIS shows a count at a finer level than the publisher reported, counts under 5 are shown as "<5". No layer does this today, since tables are drawn at the publisher's own level or coarser. The publisher's own suppression marks, such as "x" or "..", are always kept as written.
