CAN/CGSB-171.101-2010
1 Scope
This National Standard of Canada describes a product specification in compliance to ISO 19131:2007 –
Geographic information – Data product specification for the provision of fundamental geographic information to
the public through the GeoBase initiative of the CCOG. This product specification describes the Canadian
Geographical Names (CGN) Level 1 data product that provides the currently approved geographical names in
Canada, but not the previously approved names1 which are available elsewhere. The CGNS Level 1 also
provides the core attributes of the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB). The CGNDB is the
official set of all geographic names ever approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada2. Hence the
CGN Level 1 dataset is a subset of the CGNDB.
