REGIONS Statement

The REGIONS statement is used to embed region information in the dataset. This region information is used by GeoBase to identify the geographical coverage of a dataset. If no REGIONS statement is used, then no region information is embedded in the dataset and GeoBase will not check if the dataset overlaps with any other loaded datasets.

The UNITS attribute is one of the attributes that can optionally be specified at the start of the import file. All of these attributes are optional, but if you include any, they must be specified in the following order (OUTPUT first, REGIONS last):

OUTPUTSets the filename of the output GBFS file
DATASETSets an arbitrary name for this dataset
COPYRIGHTSets a copyright for this dataset
COUNTRYSets the name of the country that this dataset represents
UNITSSets the unit system that this dataset uses - Metric or Imperial
REGIONSSets the region information for this dataset

Syntax

The REGIONS statement must be placed at the start of the .alchemy import file after any other attribute statements, but before any non-attribute statements. Order of attribute statements is important.
