Data

Data Level of compliance Note Information costs Handling costs Created on Last updated on
Urban Atlas Land Cover / Land Use Partially Reason for partial fulfillment of the requirement is the dataset coverage that is limited to large european urban areas. May 21, 2018, 12:27 p.m. June 4, 2024, 9:19 a.m.
Vector Map1 (VMap1) Partially Accuracy is lower than threshold. Available in Rapid Mapping SDI. Not all tiles have been publicly released. Oct. 1, 2018, 11:37 a.m. June 4, 2024, 9:19 a.m.
OpenStreetMap Partially Reason for partial requirement fulfillment is dataset location dependency. Available in Rapid Mapping SDI. Oct. 12, 2018, 12:54 p.m. June 4, 2024, 9:19 a.m.
GlobeLand 30 Partially Reason for partial requirement fulfillment is that Built-Up Area shall be derived from the corresponding land cover class/es. Oct. 25, 2018, 11:51 a.m. June 4, 2024, 9:19 a.m.
Natural Earth Dataset Partially Accuracy is lower than threshold. Oct. 24, 2018, 10:23 a.m. June 4, 2024, 9:19 a.m.

European Settlement Map Partially The update frequency is lower than required. Data need further processing to obtain the final product. Thematic classes could be lower than specified in the requirement section. June 22, 2021, 4:33 p.m. June 4, 2024, 9:19 a.m.
World Countries Open Data: Buildings Partially The level of compliance of the Dataset must be verify case by case. Jan. 5, 2021, 12:48 p.m. June 4, 2024, 9:19 a.m.
INSPIRE Annex III: Buildings Partially The level of compliance of the Dataset must be verify case by case. Number of thematic classes could be lower than specified in the requirement section. Nov. 11, 2020, 6 p.m. June 4, 2024, 9:19 a.m.
Copernicus Global Land Service (CGLS) Land Cover Partially The update frequency is lower than required. Dataset need further processing to obtain the final product. Thematic classes could be lower than specified in the requirement section. Reason for partial requirement fulfillment is that Built-Up Area shall be derived from the corresponding land cover class/es. Accuracy is lower than threshold.
