Deliverables
Description
Planned Date
Completion
(in Jun. 2013)
Actual Date 1
Documentation of LU/LC data sources (Agencies, Ministries, etc)
Thorough investigation of the LU/LC data sources through the National Infrastructure for Spatial Information (due to the Directive 2007/2/EC) and according to the criteria set for the project. It resulted in the documentation of the central and local directories and agencies in charge of managing appropriate LU/LC geospatial data.

Documentation of LU/LC data sets
(specificities, classes, etc)
Simultaneously, the previous investigation has been executed for the LU/LC data sets according to the criteria set for the project (including Metadata)
It resulted in the documentation of the appropriate data sets that will be used for the project, including: specificities of different types, performance, coherence, time and spatial coverage, classes, quality & reliability
