GRASS GIS Sample Dataset Piemont, Italy

Description and discussion of (future) standardized GRASS GIS 7 dataset - an updated GRASS GIS 7 location to be used in manual pages, tutorials, courses, code testing, development and perhaps OSGeo Live.

Note: The user-oriented page with examples and list of existing datasets is at ​GRASS Wiki: GRASS GIS Standardized Sample Datasets.

Background information

From ​Wikipedia: Piedmont (/ˈpiːdmɒnt/; Italian: Piemonte, pronounced [pjeˈmonte]; Piedmontese and Occitan: Piemont; French: Piémont) is one of the 20 regions of Italy. It has an area of 25,402 square kilometres (9,808 sq mi) and a population of about 4.6 million. The capital of Piedmont is Turin.

Basic Piemont location with PERMANENT mapset

This is based on the original Piemont location with simplified, standardized names for map layers, some updates (work in progress).

Common rules

  • Names of maps/layers must be the same for all standardized datasets. No additions to names such as _10m or _wake_county are allowed. This also implies that names must be in English, national language is not allowed for national standardized datasets (however, if desired, we can can work on a script which would automatically ​rename multiple maps in dataset and would also find and replace names in documentation and tutorials).
  • Description in tables here should be usable as title of the map. Separate details in description, which should not be part of the title, using commas or parentheses. Titles can differ between standardized datasets and can use national language (unlike names).

Raster maps

  • resolution and extent (in the sense of number of rows and columns) should be the same of very similar for all standardized datasets (obviously, actual geographical extent can be different)
  • standard resolution: 25m (marked as std)
  • standard rows x columns (cells): xxx (x) (marked as std)
