Open Land Use Map

Open Land Use Map in Slovakia

Description of the Open Land Use dataset

Slovak Republic

The dataset is derived from the set of available datasources that are helping identify the landuse in particular locality. The list of the sources used so far includes:
1) Urban Atlas(European Environmental Agency)
2) OpenStreetMap - tag landuse (OpenStreetMap, 10.12.2015)
3) CORINE Land Cover 2006 (European Environmental Agency)
4) LUCAS / Eurostat - For validation
The order of the data sources is according to the level of detail and, therefore, the priority for data integration.

Usage of Open Land Use Map provides you with the certain advantages:

OPEN, HARMONIZED AND SEAMLESS DATABASE

The data is open and is available for your download. It is harmonized towards Hierarchical INSPIRE Land Use Classification System (HILUCS). So far the data is covering the whole territory of Slovak Republic.

OPEN AND FLEXIBLE DATA  MODEL

The data model is very simple in order to enable integration of any land use data. It includes the original landuse class (in general, data use different classification systems for landuse/landcover) andthe target class in the HILUCS. The model includes the references to original dataset together with a unique ID. The data model is flexible and can be extended based on user needs.

COMBINATION OF GLOBAL AND LOCAL DATA

The resulting dataset is composed of global pan-European data combined, where available, with regional,more detailed data. In this way, we provide the most precise seamless landuse map.

SDI4Apps Project

SDI4Apps is an EU-funded project coordinated by the University of West Bohemia (Pilsen, CZ). It seeks to build a cloud-based framework with open APIs for data integration. The project is tested through 6 pilot applications. Open Land Use Map is one of them.
