Hi there,
I would appreciate it if somebody of you could help me with the following subject:
We were contacted by public authorities who are looking for official and open data containing all countries, cities, provinces etc. of the entire world.
As far as I was told, the Swiss Federal Office for Statistics only has the data for Europe and CH.
Thanks for letting me know if you have an idea where this data is openly available.
Best,
Muriel

There is no such "official" repository!
Currently, the most successful effort at putting all of the pieces
together (with global coverage) is Natural Earth:
http://www.naturalearthdata.com/
Just let me know if it doesn't contain all of what you are looking
for... there are quite a few additional data sources around.
Kind regards,
Luc

I presume when you are interested in metadata e.g., codes, labels about
those areas types, as opposed to observations or studies including those
areas. Can you specify whether you are after economic, geopolitical or
geographic divisions?
AFAIK, there is no agency that has a standardized collection of the
divisions that you are after. You'll have to hunt down each statistical
agency per country if you want to get the complete "official" list of
provinces and cities. See how far the following will get you:
* http://geonames.org/ (unofficial)
* http://openstreetmap.org/ with http://linkedgeodata.org/ (unofficial)
* http://linkedgeodata.org/GADM (RDF conversion of GADM). See also:
http://gadm.geovocab.org/
*
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/nuts_nomenclature/introduction
(EU only) -- There is an RDF serialization of this at
http://eurostat.linked-statistics.org/dic/geo
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_administrative_subdivision_codes
* Number of cities that you can probably dig out of DBpedia/Wikidata:
http://dbpedia.org/sparql?default-graph-uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org&query=Select+Count%28*%29+{+%3Fs+a+dbpedia-owl%3ACity+}&format=text%2Fhtml&timeout=30000&debug=on
;) See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_cities_by_country
You may need to mix and match in the end :S

Excellent suggestions. Please feel free to add them & more to our wiki of Open
Data from around the world <http://make.opendata.ch/wiki/data:global> and Open
Geo Data <http://make.opendata.ch/wiki/data:geo>. One I would recommend as
a starting point is Datahub.io, the OKFN-run portal of open data portals.
Cheers,
