In a time when the web is awash in geospatial data, cartographers are forced to waste time sifting through confusing tangles of poorly attributed data to make clean, legible maps. Because your time is valuable, Natural Earth data comes ready-to-use. ![Neatness Counts](http://www.naturalearthdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/home_image_21.png) -#Neatness Counts +# Neatness Counts The carefully generalized linework maintains consistent, recognizable geographic shapes at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110m scales. Natural Earth was built from the ground up so you will find that all data layers align precisely with one another. For example, where rivers and country borders are one and the same, the lines are coincident. ![GIS Atributes](http://www.naturalearthdata.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/home_image_32.png) -#GIS Attributes +# GIS Attributes Natural Earth, however, is more than just a collection of pretty lines. The data attributes are equally important for mapmaking. Most data contain embedded feature names, which are ranked by relative importance. Other attributes facilitate faster map production, such as width attributes assigned to river segments for creating tapers. -#Versioning +# Versioning The 2.0 release in 2012 marked the project's shift from so-called marketing versions to [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/). @@ -69,8 +69,8 @@ When we introduce a new version of Natural Earth, you can tell by the version nu * **Minor version Y**: limited integration challenges. * **Major version X**: significatnt integration challenges, either around changed file strucutre, field layout, field values like `FeatureCla` used in symbolizing data, or significant new additions or significant changes to existing themes. -#&etc +# &etc Natural Earth is maintained by Nathaneiel V.
