Mismatched Geography Hierarchy in EMu
Continents are geographically assigned (not politically)
- Canary Islands - Country: Spain, Continent: Africa (not Europe)
- Madeira - Country: Portugal, Continent: Africa (not Europe)
- Hawaii - Country: U.S.A, Continent: Oceania (not North America)
- Trinidad and Tobago - Continent: South America (not West Indies)
- Bermuda - Continent: North America (might be assumed to be West Indies)
Important Hierarchical Variations To Note
- United Kingdom: Province/state level (primary administrative division) does not match Statoids provided list. Province/state Lookup List values consists of the four countries of the United Kingdom: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, which deviates from the primary administrative division list provided by Statoids (http://www.statoids.com/ugb.html). The primary administrative division list for the U.K. provided by Statoids (http://www.statoids.com/ugb.html) was incorporated as the secondary administrative division values in EMu, by country.
- Brazil: District/county Lookup List values (secondary administrative division) in EMu do not match Statoids provided "Microregions" (http://www.statoids.com/ybr.html). Microregions "...have no administrative function; they were defined by the federal government for purposes of convenience" (Law, 2007). Alternatively, the secondary administrative units (municipalities) were gathered from the Wikipedia page "List of Municipalities of Brazil," according to State (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_municipalities_of_Brazil).
