MGCP Topographic Dataset
type: Dataset
description: The Multi-national Geospatial Co-production Program (MGCP) is a coalition of over 30 countries dedicated to producing high-resolution topographic vector data throughout high interest areas of the world. Data is extracted from high resolution imagery in 1° x 1° cells at a scale of 1:50 000. All data produced must meet a minimum horizontal circular error accuracy of 25m and meet MGCP Technical Reference Documentation (TRD) specifications, which details extraction guidelines and feature catalogues to ensure consistency. Cell and subregion metadata delivered in XML files based on ISO standards 19115 for geographic content and 19139 for XML implementation is available for the data. Data: boundaries and markers, hydrography (rivers, lakes, waterfalls,…), industry, physiography (soil surface, volcano areas,…), place names, population (buildings,…), transportation (roads, runways,…), utilities, vegetation.
