| Abstract | The World Factbook is published by the United States Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) Directorate of Intelligence. The World Factbook is a compendium of statistics and general information about the geography, economy, people, government and infrastructure of 263 countries, territories and oceans of the world. ISciences produced a multiyear version of the World Factbook (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006) as an interesting demonstration of time series capabilities in ISciences’ TerraViva!® global data-viewing software. Data users should note that the data provider (CIA) explicitly states that these data are not comparable from year to year, and that the data provider does not endorse any use of these data as evidence of longitudinal trends. Data was compiled for use in TerraViva!® global data-viewing software by ISCIENCES, L.L.C., Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. |
