| ## Changes made to the published data | |
| The exact/ tier is a format conversion only: geometry is carried through as published, coordinate for coordinate. The display/ tier is simplified with rmapshaper::ms_simplify() and its coordinates therefore DIFFER from the published data -- it is for drawing maps, never for measurement. Two country-code corrections and one boundary change are applied to both tiers and are listed in source.yml under `changes`. | |
| Per-dataset detail is recorded in each `dataset.yml` under `bank.modifications` | |
| and `bank.changes`, and is served by the platform API alongside the data. | |
