The catalogue will continue to strive to provide data in multiple formats wherever possible. New data sets will be added as they become available. The data can be downloaded as shapefiles for GIS applications, and as CSV for tables and spreadsheets. Advanced users may also integrate our data into other applications using the REST or GeoJSON API.
