Follow on Google News | Geolocation Database Free to PublicNorth American Open Geospatial (NAOG) announces the 3rd release update of the Countries of the World (COW), its premier geospatial database and its companion Administrative Divisions of North America (ADNA).
By: opengeocode.org Free for public use, the COW database contains 61 distinct fields of data for the 249 countries, territories and dependencies (top-level administrative divisions) recognized by the United Nations, including ISO official country names in English, French, Spanish, Russian and Italian. The new release has incorporated the lastest updates (VI-9 and VI-10) to the ISO 3166-1 country list with the inclusion of the South Sudan and minor name changes to other countries. In addition, the COW database now includes official country names in Italian and the maximum/minum latitude and longitude coordinates of each country. "Knowing the maximum and minimum lattitude and longitude coordinate of a country makes it fast and easy for an application to determine which country a given coordinate is in.", says Andrew Ferlitsch, Co-Founder of OpenGeoCode.org. “There is a compelling need in the geolocation industry for a one-stop source of all public domain geolocation data for point-of-interest (POI) of administrative boundaries, zip codes, significant buildings and corresponding commercial and government enterprises throughout North America,” says Mr. Wischnofski, Co-founder Opengeocode.org. “The ADNA database contains 28 distinct fields of data for 1st level administrative divisions of countries in North America.” The NAOG databases can be used in conjunction with a wide array of location-aware solutions and services, including store locators, distance calculators, product routing and delivery, real-time check-in services, and location specific advertisement targeting. Access to the COW and ADNA databases using text-based search form can be found at: http://nwstartups.com/ Access to the COW and ADNA databases as a CSV download can be found at: http://www.opengeocode.org/ Access to the entire NAOG database can be obtained by direct contact to the company. NAOG is excited to continue the succession of product releases as it further compiles the vast array of public domain geolocation data. OpenGeoCode.Org is dedicated to collecting and combining geolocation data for single source access of public domain information for use in research and development of geospatial technologies and opportunities.
