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.
