Notes on geographical datasets from https://geoportal.statistics.gov.uk/:

Which spatial dataset format should I use?

A brief explanation:

• Full Extent (BFE) – Full resolution boundaries go to the Extent of the Realm (Low Water Mark) and are the most detailed of the boundaries.
• Full Clipped (BFC) – Full resolution boundaries that are clipped to the coastline (Mean High Water mark).
• Generalised Clipped (BGC) - Generalised to 20m and clipped to the coastline (Mean High Water mark) and more generalised than the BFE boundaries.
• Super Generalised Clipped (BSC) (200m) – Generalised to 200m and clipped to the coastline (Mean High Water mark).
• Ultra Generalised Clipped (BUC) (500m) – Generalised to 500m and clipped to the coastline (Mean High Water mark).
• Grid, Extent (BGE) - Grid formed of equally sized cells which extend beyond the coastline.
• Generalised, Grid (BGG) - Generalised 50m grid squares.
