Methodology:
Used tools: Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel Applied procedures: MDB database was created by export from SQL Server. Text fields were cleared of trailing spaces. Simple relation structure was added. Whole database was compacted. XLS, DBF and CSV files was created from MDB database tables. special features: DBF file - Ntext (Memo) fields were truncated to 255 characters before export. CSV files - text qualifier is ' " ' character, field separator is ',' character, line breaks were changed to string.

Owners:
The inventory began under the CORINE programme. It is now maintained for EEA by the European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity and is annually updated through Eionet. EEA provides the European inventory of nationally designated areas to the World Database of Protected Areas (WDPA) and to Eurostat. The nationally designated areas data can also be queried online in the European Nature Information System (EUNIS). The inventory is the national module of the Common Database on Designated Areas (CDDA) which also includes information on areas designated under European Community legislation and areas designated under international conventions. A poster describing the CDDA is available at: http://biodiversity-chm.eea.europa.eu/information/document/EEA/1082987029.
This information is from the European Common Database on Designated Areas established and managed collaboratively by the European Environment Agency, the UNEP-World Conservation Monitoring Centre and the Council of Europe, based on data provided by national sources
Geographical coverage note: the GIS boundary data available above has much less coverage than the Access database. See the map of site boundaries.
