Description of Data
This is the Political Boundaries Area feature class from the OSNI EuroRegionalMap Dataset.
The EuroRegionalMap Specification describes each area as an entity controlled by an administrative authority, this entity can be composed of several areas; international boundary and national subdivisions up to the lowest level (municipality level).
In sea areas boundaries are only portrayed if they are official (legal) boundaries. (Some countries do not portray legal boundaries on sea, which does not mean that they do not exist).
Quality criteria: International boundaries have to be geometrically consistent with topographical features mainly the hydrographical ones.
In the case of the LPS PolbndA, each polygon is a Ward. The features have been generalised.

| Lineage | The datasets were created using the latest CPD to map home address postcodes to Super Output Areas (SOAs), wards, district councils, parliamentary constituencies and health boards. Around 0.2% of all births cannot be mapped with the CPD and these remain as unknowns at SOA, ward and parliamentary constituency level. |
