Division 7 MAP OF THE SITE

A precondition for this revised version of the Standard Data Form is the availability of georeferenced, digital boundaries of the sites. Relevant information for e.g. statistical purposes will be taken from the combination with other digital spatial data (GIS data). Therefore the submission of georeferenced, digital boundaries of the sites are crucial.

The boundaries of the sites should be taken from published topographic maps or datasets in a scale of 50 000 or finer. The spatial cartographical accuracy may not be less than 1,0 mm at 1:50 000 which is equivalent to 50 m on the ground when compared to the original. The GIS data must include metadata according to the INSPIRE Metadata Regulation in its latest approved version.

The INSPIRE ID: This ID is an external unique object identifier of a protected site, which is published by the responsible body. This identifier is used by external applications to reference the spatial object. The INSPIRE ID is obligatory as soon as the relevant INSPIRE implementing regulation comes into force.

PDF: A Member State can provide in addition to the electronic boundaries an electronic map that follows ISO 19005-1: Document Management — Electronic document file format for long-term preservation. The Identifier of the sites (site code) and the creation date of the map must be included within the pdf in a way, that the document can be retrieved electronically by site code and creation date (optional).

Reference(s)(optional): enter here the national references to the original map used for the digitisation of the electronic boundaries. The reference can e.g. be the official identification number(s) and name(s) of the topographic map(s).
