Overture 2024-03-12-alpha.0 is now available. Here are the highlights of what’s new and updated in Overture’s 2024-03-12-alpha.0 release. We changed camelCase to snake_case in the schema for properties to be more compatible with some SQL engines. This may break your existing code and queries. This release also includes an expansion of GERS IDs across several themes and incremental updates to schema and datasets.
This data is formatted in the Overture Data Schema unless otherwise noted.
This data is available for use under the designated licenses for each theme.
We would like feedback on the data, its usefulness, and how it could be improved. Please use this Github repo for discussions and feedback related to this data release.
Breaking changes
The change to snake_case in this release affects all of Overture’s themes and may break your existing code and queries.
Deprecations
In the April 2024 release, Overture will implement a refactor of the Admins theme called Divisions. Admins and Divisions will coexist for three releases, at which point Divisions will fully replace Admins. More information on this change here.
