Image Mosaics (HR)	Reasonable	Calibration and validation	Desirable	Coverage	The reference data used to validate the high resolution (HR) IMAGE Mosaic 2012 (Core 1-Cov 2) is the very high resolution (VHR) MAGE Mosaic 2012 (Core 3).	Oct. 12, 2018, 8:57 a.m.	June 23, 2022, 12:20 p.m.
Image Mosaics (VHR)	Reasonable	Calibration and validation	Desirable	Availability, Costs, Coverage, Data policy, Metadata	Environmental System Research Institute (ESRI) World Imagery and very high resolution 1 (VHR1) national orthophotos were used to validate CORE003, a VHR based image mosaic.

Data	Level of compliance	Note	Created on	Last updated on
INSPIRE Annex II: Orthoimagery	Partially	Used for localization of Ground Control Points (GCPs) during validation and for detection of changes. The level of compliance of the Dataset must be verify case by case. Coverage could be not complete and a payment could be required.	Dec. 18, 2020, 7:34 a.m.	June 23, 2022, 12:20 p.m.
Environmental System Research Institute World Imagery (ESRI WI)	Partially	Used for localization of Ground Control Points (GCPs) during Validation; full compliance is hindered by variable image types and resolutions as well as variable geolocation accuracies.	Oct. 12, 2018, 8:48 a.m.	June 23, 2022, 12:20 p.m.
Land Use and Coverage Area frame Survey (LUCAS)	Partially	Regular grid of Land Use/Cover Area Frame Statistical Survey (LUCAS) Ground Control Points (GCPs), providing coherent and harmonised statistics on land use and land cover in the European Union via regularly updated ortho-photos; due to unsufficient coverage in a Pan-European context only partially compliant.	Oct. 18, 2018, 1:04 p.m.	June 23, 2022, 12:20 p.m.
Google Earth	Partially	Update frequency and resolution are unsufficient. Limited metadata available. Not pure in-situ dataset, in majority consisting of satellite imagery.	Nov. 9, 2018, 3:31 p.m.	June 23, 2022, 12:20 p.m.
