After an almost 4 year hiatus, we are proud to announce the publish of a new Standards data catalog for your use on Standard Finder.  It incorporates many years of correction to the existing data which many of you have so diligently emailed us about, as well as expanded and new gazetteers for better global coverage.  As always, it’s not perfect, but has made tremendous advancement.  Please continue to send us your comments as our goal is to continually improve the data and increase the publish frequency to a quarterly basis moving forward.
