本数据集收录了1997年至2012年间温哥华市的企业营业执照记录，并保留了原始分类（BusinessType）。根据许可法第4450号，在温哥华市经营企业需持有有效营业执照。营业执照可从市许可证办公室获取，除非另有说明，否则有效期为当年余下的日历时间。请注意，自2024年5月6日起，市府简化了营业执照的分类，将超过500个类别合并为少于100个。尽管在此日期之前的数据仍然可获取，但5月6日之后的营业执照数据集将按照新的简化类别组织。更多关于此更新的信息请访问温哥华市营业执照页面。本数据集保持不变。自2024年起，根据新的分类（BusinessType），营业执照数据集包括了从2024年至今的记录。2013年至2024年5月3日之间的营业执照记录，包括其原始分类（BusinessType），可在“2013至2024年营业执照”数据集中找到。自2018年4月12日起，包括从1997年至今的历史数据文件在内的商业许可证数据集已更新，以涵盖家庭式企业。市府已从家庭式企业许可证类别中移除商业地址。数据更新性：本数据集为静态数据集。数据准确性：存在极小概率出现许可证号码重复使用的情况。许可证RSN是唯一的标识符。发放给温哥华市外地址的营业执照不包含坐标，因此不会在地图上显示。并非所有温哥华市的地址都有坐标。一小部分企业在当年因变更或在中途退役企业类型名称时，会被发放替代许可证。为保护隐私，某些选定的企业类型的地址数据未被公开。在地理编码过程中，可能存在无法返回坐标的地址。这些记录将在表格视图中显示，但不会在地图上显示。酒类许可证申请业务类型不包含发放日期或过期日期信息，因为它是对有效营业执照的临时申请。可能由于数据输入错误而导致数据质量有所损失。更多信息请访问以下网站：许可证和许可证申请、申请营业执照、许可证法规4450号、联系许可证办公室。
