Data Sets

VATGlasses is formed of lots of individual data sets. Each data set covers one (and occasionally multiple) countries, usually within the remit of a single vACC. Occasionally, a country is split into multiple datasets (e.g. if it's very big or split across several divisions), but in most cases this should be avoided.

Every data set is contained within a separate file and the file structure is identical throughout. Some VATGlasses pages display multiple data sets at once and some data sets are displayed on multiple VATGlasses pages.

Open-Source Data

This repository contains only open-source data. Not all FIRs contained on VATGlasses are open-source, but all open-source data sets welcome community contributions - please feel free to pull request a change if you notice an issue! The current open-source data sets are:

These data sets each have a nominated vACC staff member, who is responsible for maintaining the set within this repository. The nominated staff member also has access to our test repository, so will be able to review any changes you propose.

Please be aware that they are likely to receive periodic bulk updates when local sector files change, so some pull requests may be rejected by local staff.

  • Gibraltar (LX**)
  • Ireland (EI**)
  • Maastricht Netherlands (EDYY)
    • Delta Sectors Only
  • Moncton (CZQM) & Gander Domestic (CZQX)

These data sets rely entirely on community support to remain current. VATGlasses is maintained by only one person, so naturally some data may become outdated. If you notice an issue - please do pull request in the necessary changes!
