Locations

From ISPRA’s cartographic systems are derived data related to Italian regions, provinces and municipalities (Source: data processing by the Italian National Institute of Statistics – ISTAT).

The locations dataset is of paramount importance for integrating its diversified sources of origin. Particular attention was paid to the standardization of geographical landmarks which, due to technical and “historical” reasons, were sometimes reduplicated in the single systems.

What does it include?

  • Official Name
  • Centroids for Latitude and longitude data
  • Polygons (shape)
  • Administrative hierarchy
  • ISTAT Code
  • Link to the Linked Data Cloud (ISTAT datiopen, geonames, dbpedia, etc.)
