Data

Data Level of compliance Note Information costs Handling costs Created on Last updated on
Urban Atlas Land Cover / Land Use Partially Useful for training sample selection and plausibility checks. April 16, 2018, 10:24 a.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
EEA reference grid Partially Useful for structuring calibration and validation but must be combined with further reference data containing the actual land cover Information. April 16, 2018, 10:22 a.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
High Resolution Layer - Tree Cover Density Partially Additionally used for training sample selection and identification as well as for plausibility checks, but limited to the density parameter. May 13, 2020, 10:51 p.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
High Resolution Layer - Forest Type Partially Additionally used for training sample selection, identification and verification. May 20, 2020, 10:05 p.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
Land Use and Coverage Area frame Survey (LUCAS) Partially Sampling grid of 2x2 km does not fully capture local landscape heterogenities which would be appreciated for product generation. April 16, 2018, 10:22 a.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
Global Forest Change Partially Useful for training sample selection and identification. But thematic Focus on Change. Only partially compliant due to low resolution and lacking update. April 20, 2018, 4:14 p.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
High Resolution Layers - Water & Wetness Partially Additionally used for training sample selection, identification and verification as well as for plausibility checks. Thematic focus on water bodies and wet areas only. April 17, 2018, 11:31 a.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) Partially Used for selection and extraction of training sample and plausibility checks. Requires recoding. Limited accessibility and highly variable quality across EU member states, unsufficient coverage and differing accuracy limit it to only partial compliance. June 22, 2018, 9:38 a.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
INSPIRE Annex II: Land cover Partially The level of compliance of the Dataset must be verify case by case. Coverage could be not complete. Number of thematic classes could be lower than specified in the requirement section. The timeliness could be higher than required. Dec. 18, 2020, 8:42 a.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
High Resolution Layer - Imperviousness Partially Additionally used for training sample selection, identification and verification as well as for plausibility checks. Thematic focus on urban areas, lacking information on vegetation. April 17, 2018, 11:31 a.m. April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m.
Corine Land Cover Plus Backbone - Land Cover Raster Product Partially Information on grassland land cover for complementing land cover ; Partially compliance due to resolution April 16, 2024, 9:56 a.m. April 16, 2024, 10:22 a.m.
