Canonical datasets
Generated live from the registry database on every request.
islands_canonical.csv
One row per island: names, atoll, status, coordinates, area, completeness, conflict count.
islands_canonical.geojson
Island polygons (OneMap geometry) with registry attributes.
atolls.csv
All 21 administrative atolls.
population.csv
Population records per island per source (Census 2022, StatsMap).
Raw source datasets
Every source value, untransformed, with provenance — nothing is discarded.
islands_all_source_values.csv
The complete source-first value store: every field from every source with raw value, normalized value, confidence, verification status and scrape date.
data/raw/ archives
Raw HTML, ArcGIS responses, XLSX tables and layer files archived per source in the repository (see Source Registry for paths).
Conflict datasets
islands_conflicts.csv
Every detected cross-source disagreement with all source values, severity and review status.
aom_data_issues.csv
Known issues with Atolls of Maldives data: islands missing from the archive and every value where AoM disagrees with current registries (the archive's last observable update is August 2024; many records are older). Check this before reusing AoM data.
