• tag: tagging image, values: standard or danger
• url_doc: documentation/description page.
• layers: what are the layer(s)/information(s) displayed within the set.
• precision_max: max precision for 1px. Only for rasters files.
• covered_area: geographic area covered by the data set
• datum: datum type, usually WSG84 (also called WSG 1984, WSG 84)
• projection: map projection, frequently "latlong"
• extensions: zipped .ext → unzipped .ext
• size_compressed: compressed size (usually in Kb/Mb), for download.
• size_uncompressed: uncompressed size (usually in Kb/Mb), for storage.
• tile_size: geographic size of each tile/file of the data set.
• tiles_total: numbers of tiles/files in the whole data set.
• comment: interest of the file for wikigraphists, usage.
• editor_note: bug, limits of the data, need to check some parameters.
