Data themes

ANNEX I:

Addresses

An address is an identification of the fixed location of a property based on address identifiers by road name, house number, postal code.

Administrative units

Administrative units are units of administration dividing areas where Member States.

Cadastral Parcels

Cadastral Parcels are areas defined by cadastral parcels or equivalent.

Coordinate reference systems

This theme covers the Geodetic Coordinate Reference Systems required for uniquely referencing spatial information in space.

Geographical grid systems

This theme covers quadrilateral grids used for the indirect geo-referencing of themes with typically coarse resolution and wide geographical extent.

Geographical names

Geographical names are widely used in every-day communication for referring to various natural and man-made objects in the real world.

Hidrography

This theme represent hydrographic elements, including marine areas and all other water bodies and items related to them, including river basins and sub-basins.

Protected sites

Protected Site is an area especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources.

Transport networks

Road, rail, air and water transport networks and related infrastructure.

ANNEX II:

Elevation

The Elevation data theme includes digital elevation models for land, ice and ocean surfaces.

Geology

Geology is the study of the past and present aspects of the Earth, including its history and life on Earth.

Land cover

Land cover is an abstraction of the physical and biophysical cover on the earth‘s surface.

ANNEX III:

Agricultural and Aquaculture Facilities

This theme refers to all the physical instruments and constructions that are related to Agricultural and Aquaculture Activities.

Area management

This theme encompasses a wide range of zone types that are established or used for four different and sometimes overlapping concepts: manage, restrict, regulate, report.

Atmospheric Conditions

Atmospheric Conditions includes spatial data based on measurements, on models or on a combination thereof and includes measurements locations.

Bio-geographical regions

Bio-geographical regions inludes areas of relatively homogeneous ecological conditions with common characteristics.

Buildings

Buildings and their inhabitants are consuming natural resources and there is clear need to promote more sustainable buildings and to control urban spreading.

Energy Resources

Energy Resources are features defining an inferred or observable spatial extent of a resource that can be, or has been, used as a source of energy.

Environmental monitoring facilities

Meteorological Geographical Features represent weather conditions and their measurements: precipitation, temperature, evapotranspiration, wind speed and direction.

Habitats and biotopes

Habitats and biotopes includes geographical areas characterised by specific ecological conditions, processes, structure, and functions that physically support the organisms that live there.

Human health and safety

This theme covers data on diseases and related health problems, as well as other indications of health effects that might be linked with the quality of the environment.

Land Use

Land Use is territory characterised according to its current and future planned functional dimension.

Meteorological geographical features

This theme encompasses a wide range of zone types that are established or used for four different and sometimes overlapping concepts: manage, restrict, regulate, report.

Mineral Resources

Mineral resources including metal ores, industrial minerals, etc., where relevant including depth/height information on the extent of the resource.

Natural risk zones

Natural Risk Zones are zones where natural hazard areas are coincident with highly populated areas or areas of particular environmental, cultural, or economic value.

Population distribution and demography

A population is any entire collection of people, animals, plants or things about which we may collect data.

Habitats and biotopes

Habitats and biotopes includes geographical areas characterised by specific ecological conditions, processes, structure, and functions that physically support the organisms that live there.
