This API returns a geography of a specified geography type by the geography id.

USGS developed The National Map Gazetteer as the Federal and national standard (ANSI INCITS 446-2008) for geographic nomenclature based on the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). The National Map Gazetteer contains information about physical and cultural geographic features, geographic areas, and locational entities that are generally recognizable and locatable by name (have achieved some landmark status) and are of interest to any level of government or to the public for any purpose that would lead to the representation of the feature in printed or electronic maps and/or geographic information systems. The dataset includes features of all types in the United States, its associated areas, and Antarctica, current and historical, but not including roads and highways. The dataset holds the federally recognized name of each feature and defines the feature location by state, county, USGS topographic map, and geographic coordinates. Other attributes include names or spellings other than the official name, feature classification, and historical and descriptive information. The dataset assigns a unique, permanent feature identifier, the Feature ID, as a standard Federal key for accessing, integrating, or reconciling feature data from multiple data sets. This dataset is a flat model, establishing no relationships between features, such as hierarchical, spatial, jurisdictional, organizational, administrative, or in any other manner. As an integral part of The National Map, the Gazetteer collects data from a broad program of partnerships with federal, state, and local government agencies and other authorized contributors. The Gazetteer provides data to all levels of government and to the public, as well as to numerous applications through a web query site, web map, feature and XML services, file download services, and customized files upon request. The National Map download client allows free downloads of public domain geographic names data by state in a pipe-delimited text format.

The geography look ups are created from the US census shapefiles, which are in Global Coordinate System North American Datum of 1983 (GCS NAD83). The coordinates do not get reprojected during processing. The "centroid_lng", "centroid_lat" columns in the lookup table are the exact values from the US census shapefile (INTPTLON, INTPTLAT). The "bbox_arr" column is calculated from the bounding box/extent of the original geometry in the shapefile; no reprojection or transformations are done to the geometry.

The Board serves all government agencies and the public as the central authority to which name inquiries, name issues, and new name proposals can be directed. It is comprised of representatives of Federal agencies associated with land management and cartography. Sharing its responsibilities with the Secretary of the Interior, the Board develops principles, policies, and procedures governing the use of both domestic and foreign geographic names as well as undersea and Antarctic feature names. Source data were originally downloaded from the U.S. Board on Geographic Names website (http://geonames.usgs.gov), imported and adapted for redistribution via RIGIS.

Corals of the World online is an interactive program, which captures global information about corals and makes it readily accessible to conservationists, educators and research scientists alike. The …Show full descriptionCorals of the World online is an interactive program, which captures global information about corals and makes it readily accessible to conservationists, educators and research scientists alike. The program is divided into two linked components, Coral ID and Coral Geographic.

Coral ID is founded on the three-volume book, "Corals of the World" (Veron, 2000) and incorporates updated and expanded species data from the electronic publication "Coral ID" (Veron and Stafford-Smith, 2002). The sophisticated electronic key in this program makes coral identification easy. Species pages give summaries of key characteristics as well as taxonomic detail.

The Coral ID program includes:

1. A sophisticated (Lucid-based) key taking users directly to species pages. (coming soon)

2. Species pages containing: -A character summary -Underwater in situ photographs -Photographs of skeletons -Data on colour, similar species, habitats and abundance -Detailed account of skeletal and live coral characteristics (coming soon) -A map showing global distribution from Coral Geographic -Reference information -Links to other identification products

3. A link to Coral Geographic.

   Coral Geographic has not been previously published although it has been providing geographic data about corals since the early 1990s. Geographic information can be obtained in a many formats allowing analyses and interfacing with other programs and datasets. The program divides the world's coral regions into 141 named ecoregions. Features of Coral Geographic will be released progressively over the next few years and will be available (a) interactively on the internet, (b) for downloading in available formats and (c) on DVD.

   The Coral Geographic program includes:

4. For each coral species: -A GIS map showing global distribution -Types of presence/absence records available -Comprehensive references -A link to the relevant species page in Coral ID

5. For each ecoregion: -A comprehensive list of species -Geographic information and photographs -Links to other information sources

6. Multiple species maps which can be selected according to user needs.

7. Species maps which can be interfaced with other programs according to user needs.

   Additional information is available in the form of explanatory chapters about coral classification, coral structure and growth, coral taxonomy, coral environments, reefs, mass bleaching, coral reproduction and coral evolution.

   Also, a space where users can insert information for personal use and a link where information and photographs can be submitted for inclusion in program updates is included. (coming soon) This program has been developed to provide global information about corals to conservationists, educators and research scientists alike. Early taxonomic classifications were published by J.E.N Veron and Michael Pichon in 'Scleractinia of Eastern Australia' Monograph Series, Vol I-V. These publications have been digitised by Atlas of Living Australia, and made available on the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS: http://www.iobis.org/explore/#/dataset/3088)

This API is designed to find the rankings by any geography ID within the nation with a specific census metric (population or household) and ranking metric (any of the metrics from provider, demographic, technology or speed). The results are the top ten and bottom ten rankings within the nation for the particular geography type and my area rankings include +/- 5 rankings from the my area rank.

This dataset provides the geographic names data for Iowa. All names data products are extracted from the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), the Federal Government's repository of official geographic names. The GNIS contains the federally recognized name of each feature and defines its location by State, county, USGS topographic map, and geographic coordinates. GNIS also lists variant names, which are non-official names by which a feature is or was known. Other attributes include unique Feature ID and feature class. Feature classes under the purview of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names include natural features, unincorporated populated places, canals, channels, reservoirs, and more.

Abstract

This dataset is derived from GA TOPO 250K Series 3 features clipped to the BA_SYD and environs extent for the purpose of providing geographic context in BA_SYD report map images. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

Selected features currently include:

Lakes

PlaceNames*

PopulatedPlaces

Railways

Roads

WatercourseLines

additional features may be included as required (relevant feature classes asterisked).

Currently the only addition has been to PlaceNames with the addition of Census Spring (see Lineage).

Purpose

providing geographic context in BA_SYD report map images.

Dataset History

A rectangular mask polygon feature was manually drawn around the BA_SYD (ie NSB+SSB) boundary extending approximately 100km beyond the BA_SYD extent. This mask is included in the dataset (SYD_clip).

Selected features from the national GEODATA TOPO 250K series 3 were overlaid with the mask and intersecting features extracted.

Extracted feature classes have the same names as the source features.

The additional feature of "Census Spring" was added to place names. It's approximate location was sourced from

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Face refers to the areal (polygon) topological primitives that make up MTDB. A face is bounded by one or more edges; its boundary includes only the edges that separate it from other faces, not any interior edges contained within the area of the face. The Topological Faces Shapefile contains the attributes of each topological primitive face. Each face has a unique topological face identifier (TFID) value. Each face in the shapefile includes the key geographic area codes for all geographic areas for which the Census Bureau tabulates data for both the 2020 Census and the annual estimates and surveys. The geometries of each of these geographic areas can then be built by dissolving the face geometries on the appropriate key geographic area codes in the Topological Faces Shapefile.
