[Geodata] GIS Map Data

[Feng Wong]

I

Hello all,
I asked this question from openlayers list and been advised to send the same
question to geodata list. Here is my question

I am  a newbie to the mapping application and I need your help. I am using
openlayers and with the help of so many examples and extensive API, I am
progressing very well. But, I have one request regarding data. I do not know
where can I get free global raw data that  can use to run my application
offline; i.e downloading to my local computer and being able to use it
without connecting to the internet. Could you please give me some pointers
to where I can download and use the data locally. Another question I have is
how extensive is this data?  If I can get countries/states/regional
boundaries, that would be sufficient for my application. Also, if there are
any premium data as well, I would like to get the pointers for their sites.


Thanks again,
Feng
