Protected Areas 2021

This product consists of a single status layer.

Check description: Delivery file can be unzipped.

Required check, the check cannot be skipped.

Check description: Naming is in accord with specification.

Required check, the check cannot be skipped.

Requirements: Each Protected Areas product must be in a geodatabase (gdb), GeoPackage (gpkg), FlatGeobuf (fgb) or GeoParquet (parquet) format.

Naming convention:

  • The layer name must match regex: ^clms_pa_lcuc_s2021_(?P<bioregion_id>[0-9a-z]{6})_(?P<bioregion_name>[a-z]+)_v05ha_eu27_(?P<epsg_code>[0-9]{5})_v[0-9]{2}_r[0-9]{2}_[0-9]{8}$
  • the name must start with clms_pa_lcuc_s2021_
  • followed by bioregion ID
  • followed by bioregion name
  • followed by _v05ha_eu27_
  • followed by EPSG code (03035);
  • followed by 'version' (the major release version code);
  • followed by 'revision' (the code of revised release);
  • followed by 'release_date' (the date of release);
  • List of allowed bioregion IDs:

"du0001", "du0002", "du0003", "du0004", "du0005", "du0006", "du0007", "du0008", "du0009", "du0010", "du0011", "du0012", "du0013", "du0014", "du0015", "du0016", "du0017", "du0018", "du0019", "du0020", "du0021", "du0022", "du0023", "du0024", "du0025", "du0026", "du0027", "du0028", "du0029", "du0030", "du0031", "du0032", "du0033", "du0034", "du0035", "du0036", "du0037", "du0038"

Check description: If a feature has nodata set, then all dependent attributes must have specific value.

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

Requirements: If nodata_21 = 1, then the values in the following dependent columns have to be set to 0: (code_1_21 = 0, code_2_21 = 0, code_3_21 = 0, code_4_21 = 0).

Parameters:
  • nodata_column_name: nodata_21
  • nodata_value: 1
  • dep_column_names: [code_1_21, code_2_21, code_3_21, code_4_21]
  • dep_value: 0

Check description: Singlepart polygon check.

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

Requirements: All layers of all vector products, feature satisfying general requirements:

Feature is a single-part polygon; a single-part polygon may contain holes but may not contain multiple exterior rings. ;

Check description: Geometries are valid.

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

Requirements:

Feature satisfying general requirements:

  • Feature with valid geometries as defined by Open Geospatial Consortium’s OpenGIS specification.
  • For each feature with invalid geometry the invalid geometry reason (i. e. self-intersection) and invalid geometry location can be found in the attachment error table.

NOTE: Ring self-intersections while considered valid by ArcGIS are also reported as errors by the QC Tool. ;

Check description: Calculated area and value in the column 'area' coincide.

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

Check description: There is no gap in the AOI.

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

Requirements: AOI is defined by boundary package. AOI represents the Bioregion which should be covered by data. The value of du_id attribute indicates the Bioregion the feature is covered by. For every delivery there is a contract fixing the set of sites the delivery should supply.

Check description: Minimum mapping unit.

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

Requirements:

  • feature satisfying general requirements:
    • feature having area >= 0.5ha;
  • feature satisfying exceptional requirements:
    • Feature with one or more exception comments in the comment_21 attribute:
Area size exception (at Natura2000 AoI boundary)
Area size exception (inside Natura2000 AoI boundary)
Splitted change
Areas related to change
Different water level
Flooded area
Braided River

Notes:

  • Linear feature (road, railway, river) has code_3_21 codes [1210, 1220, 8110, 8120];
  • Road or railway feature has code_3_21 codes [1210, 1220];
  • Urban feature has code_1_21 code 1x;
  • There may be multiple comments in the comment_21 attribute. In that case the comments must be separated by ";", e.g. Area size exception (inside Natura2000 AoI boundary); Areas related to change.

Check description: Minimum mapping width.

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

Requirements:

Feature satisfying general requirements:

  • Feature with minimum width greater than 10 metres

Check description: No overlapping polygons.

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

There must be no feature having any part of its interior common with any other feature (aka overlaps). ;

Check description: No neighbouring polygons with the same code.

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

Requirements:

Feature satisfying general requirements:

  • Feature has no neighbouring feature of the same classes recorded in attributes code_4_21;
  • feature satisfying exceptional requirements:
    • feature having one of the following comments present in the comment_21 column:
      • Braided River System;
      • Flooded area;
