These files are produced from the NUTS geodata provided on [Eurostat-GISCO website](http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/nuts). The input data are automatically downloaded from the [Eurostat GISCO API](https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/distribution/) and stored in a *download* folder. This data is transformed using [GDAL](http://www.gdal.org/) and [TopoJSON](https://github.com/mbostock/topojson/wiki) programs. The entire process is automated in a Python script, which is available in the [/src/py/ folder](/src/py/). This process has the following steps:
139
-
1.*download*: Retrieve the input data using[Eurostat GISCO API](https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/distribution/).
140
-
2.*filterRenameDecomposeClean*: Prepare input data: filter, rename attributes, decompose by NUTS level and clean some invalid geometries.
141
-
3.*coarseClipping*: Apply a coarse data selection with clipping on the areas of interest.
142
-
4.*reprojectClipGeojson*: Reproject, clip more precisely and convert as GeoJSON.
143
-
5.*topoGeojson*: Make TopoJSON file from GeoJSON files, simplify them with [TopoJSON Simplify](https://github.com/topojson/topojson-simplify/) program, and finally produce GeoJSON from TopoJSON.

Information on the NUTS versions to cover, the scales, projections, map insets and their extents, etc. is stored in the [param.json](/src/py/param.json) file.
