Every document this atlas is built on

This atlas is built from 22 documents across two datasets: eight scheme and planning documents, and fourteen documents behind the village register. Four of them carry no extractable text at all and were read from high resolution renders, which is recorded against each row.

Every one of these is a government publication, which is why each value taken from them carries the tag OFFICIAL on the page that shows it. Neither dataset contains a value tagged REPORTED or TARGET.

Documents with no text layer

Files read from renders rather than from machine text Source: type field of source_documents in tp-schemes.json
FileWhy
notif_dtps1.pdfSCANNED IMAGE, no text layer - read from render
notif_dtps3.pdfSCANNED IMAGE, no text layer - read from render
prelim_tps_2A.pdfVECTOR DRAWING, no text layer, no embedded fonts (text outlined to curves) - read from render
prelim_tps_4A.pdfVECTOR DRAWING, no text layer, no embedded fonts (text outlined to curves) - read from render
gtpuda.pdfscanned book with poor OCR text layer - statutory figures verified from rendered images

Two of these are scanned gazette pages with zero extractable text. Two are pure vector drawings whose lettering was converted to curves when the file was made, so they carry no text and no embedded fonts either. Values from all four were read visually from renders at high resolution, which is why each affected record on this atlas carries an extraction note.

The declared limitations that follow from this, and from the poor optical character recognition layer on the copy of the Act, are listed on the methodology page.
