WKTs for Canadian provinces?

[campmlc]

I have a request for WKTs for Novia Scotia and other Canadian provinces. Have we decided to use these as specific locality if there is nothing for locality except higher geography?

working on these but ran into issue of many many islands for some Provinces making the files quite large (e.g., BC is 19MB which is ridiculous for a wkt)! work in progress....

WKTs are just a spatial component of geography; http://handbook.arctosdb.org/documentation/locality.html and http://handbook.arctosdb.org/documentation/higher-geography#guidelines-for-assigning-geography-to-specimens remain correct.

Update: GIS assistant is simplifying borders of BC, NS, Nunavut etc to include all small coastal islands and land masses. I can send/post maps for review if you would like @campmlc

Landlocked provinces are complete and will be uploaded soon.

Thanks, @michelle Koo <mkoo@berkeley.edu> . Let me know when these are ready to use.
