covered_area: geographic area covered by the data set
datum: datum type, usually WSG84 (also called WSG 1984, WSG 84)
projection: map projection, frequently "latlong"
extensions: zipped .ext → unzipped .ext
size_compressed: compressed size (usually in Kb/Mb), for download.
size_uncompressed: uncompressed size (usually in Kb/Mb), for storage.
