| Lineage | Boundaries of the islands as shape file came from an unknown data source. Surveyors at public work departments digitised the boundaries again using the OS map 2007 as reference background. Only East and West Falklands had been digitised to make the outline of the Falklands matching with a reference data source (the OS map). In february 2017 the file was updated and the outline of a couple of islands (Kidney and Sea Lion) has been reviewed and redigitised against the OS map. Notice that current dataset was derived by merging the farm boundaries described by the land ownerships dataset (reference dataset FK-EPD-282) which means that the Falklands are represented as unique geographic entity and not as single islands. |
