PAGE The
Second Administrative Level Boundaries (SALB) dataset is a dataset
aiming at improving the availability of information about administrative boundaries
down to the second subnational level. The
SALB dataset forms part of the UN geographic database and was developed in
the context of the United Nations Geographic Information Working
Group (UNGIWG). For more
information go to the project
overview page of this website. The
SALB dataset is a global digital dataset consisting of digital maps and
codes that can be downloaded on a country by country basis. In order
to insure consistency from one country to another, the database uses
an international border standard developed in the context of the UN
Geographic Database. This dataset is downloadable at no cost from this website. Due to the difference in
the quality of the documents compiled, the digital maps part of the dataset
are more
adapted for thematic mapping than for precise location or modeling. It
is therefore recommended not to use this data at a scale
below 1:1 000 000. If you
are interested in contributing to this project please contact the
Project
coordinator.
