Metadata

Relation:: Derived data set: Population density disaggregated with CLC2000; Derived data set: Population density disaggregated with CLC2000; Derived data set: Corine land cover 2000 lakes
Last upload:: 21 Jun 2005
Geographical coverage:
Geographic accuracy:: Data is based on: IMAGE2000 as the geometric reference for the CLC databases with accuracy <=25m. Vector CLC2000 data with accuracy better than 100m.
Tags:: EEA owned data sets | land cover | geospatial data | CLC2000 | Corine
Scale of the data set:: 1:100000
Rights:: Non commercial use only.
Methodology:: Data are derived raster product based on rasterization of vector CLC00 database as provided by National Teams within ICLC2000 project. All features in original vector database were classified and digitised based on satellite images with 100 m positional accuracy (according to CLC specifications) and 25 ha minimum mapping unit into the standardized CLC nomenclature (44 CLC classes). The resolution of the raster data is 100 x 100 metres, compatible with standard EEA reference grids (as released 08 April 2005). Rasterized from vector polygonal data withing ESRI Spatial Analyst environment Each cell on the resulting output raster dataset from the conversion process is assigned based on the value of the polygon found at the center of each cell.
Coordinate reference system:: EPSG:3035
Data sources: The European Topic Centre on Terrestrial Environment: Corine land cover raster database 2000 - 100m (Version 05/2005)
Owners:: European Environment Agency (EEA)
Processors:: The European Topic Centre on Land Use and Spatial Information

Additional information

The objectives of the land cover project are: - to provide those responsible for and interested in the European policy on the environment with quantitative data on land cover, consistent and comparable across Europe; - to prepare one comprehensive land cover database for the 25 EC Member States and other European countries, at an original scale of 1: 100 000, using 44 classes of the 3-level Corine nomenclature. Changed since last version of the dataset: - New countries added - Geometry improved. Geometry of databases have been improved using ArcGIS9 transformation engine for ETRS89-LAEA/ETRS89. Erroneous geometry for Luxembourg data corrected - Harmonized with standard EEA reference grids (08 Apr 2005). See the Corine land cover 2000 brochure.
