The aim of this report is to provide a comprehensive documentation of the GED4GEM project and its results, the Global Exposure Database (or GED). Although most (if not all) of the information provided in this document is available in the deliverables of the GED4GEM project (http://www.nexus.globalquakemodel.org/ged4gem/posts/ged4gem-deliverables/), this document offers a unique possibility to look at the various scientific aspects of the project. It also attempts to provide clear answers to the main questions that might be posed by potential users of the GED, specifically about the data sets used, the methodologies employed and the completeness of the database.
