Recorded refresh · 2026-08-14
The first recorded refresh: the 2024–2025 vintages arrive
All nine data domains and the USGS minerals were re-pulled together for the corpus's first recorded refresh. The World Bank's compilation has advanced most population, urbanisation and electricity-access series to 2025 and the GDP family to 2024: 1,324 observations are new vintages or first publications, 37 carry upstream revisions, and 2 were withdrawn. Every change resolves to its claim ID in the complete record.

By domain
Counts of recorded changes, with each domain’s data vintage as it stood before and after the refresh. A domain absent here did not move.
| Domain | New | Revised | Retired | Vintage |

Noted in the record
- This entry pays the corpus's known vintage drift: economy, society, geography and military were last pulled in June 2026 and the other five domains in August. All nine were re-pulled in one act; four moved — economy, society, geography and resources.
- Two observations were withdrawn upstream: Bosnia and Herzegovina's 2024 inflation (its 2023 observation stands again), and Jordan's trade-openness series, whose latest published year moved back from 2024 to 2007 — a large retreat of the series' published span, recorded here as it stands.
- Governance, health, education, technology and military were re-pulled with zero value changes: their publishers have not moved since the prior pulls. Absence of change is recorded, not assumed.
- The USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries remain the 2026 edition; no mineral production figure or world total moved.
- Of the 37 upstream revisions, most are recomputation-scale (relative shifts below one part in a million); the largest are Ghana's 2024 trade openness and the 2024 CO2-per-capita figures for Togo and Georgia.
- Two first-ever observations: trade openness for Fiji (2024) and Sao Tome and Principe (2025).
