Hey So I downloaded a rather large GIS file that had all of Europe which contained places of interest, points, railways, waterways, roads, buildings, land use, and natural areas. As I have worked with it to do what I needed to do I have lost the metadata and do not remember what the original source was called. Is there anyway I might obtain the original file or atleast its name so I can record it in my own metadata? |

Geofabrik sells continent-wide shapefiles. You might also want to check learnosm and openstreetmapdata, but it doesn't look like they have Europe-wide files. Or you could search for "europe shapefile" and you'll find a lot of hits, although most of them won't be OSM data. |

Do you have backups from which you can restore the original file (with meta data). I do not have a back up and I recently had to switch computers, the one I originally used crapped out. I will try finding this program but I have a Dell so I'm not sure if they have a similar program thank.

What format is the current file in ?
The current format of the files I have are shapefiles. they are vector layers if that is relevant
