1 - the range is described according to the contraints (=LandCoverCoreInformation here for the moment but will be another semantic description)

2 - Format for Gridded Coverage (geotiff for example) support generally only 1 code (not a mosaic) in RGB mode

3- for gridded coverage, there shall be contrains to provide links between LC codes and colors (as provided by CORINE for example)

Schema validation

ArcFUEL Final Workshop “Forest Fires: Fuel mapping in the Mediterranean countries” 12

INSPIRE metadataCommission Regulation (EC) No. 1205/2008 defining the “Implementing Rules for Metadata.“ The Regulation sets out the requirements for the creation and maintenance of metadata for spatial datasets, spatial dataset series and spatial data services corresponding to the themes listed in Annexes I, II and III to Directive 2007/2/EC. It defines a number of metadata elements, their multiplicities and the value domains to be used in the metadata. It is implemented using EN ISO 19115 and EN ISO 19119.

INSPIRE metadata

Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 defining the “Implementing Rules for interoperability of spatial data sets and services“. In addition to the requirements stated by 1205/2008 it defines six additional metadata elements for interoperability of spatial data sets and services.

Field validation

One validation point each 10.000 haAll ArcFuel FT in the classified map represented in the sample to be validated in situPoints located within a distance of 300 meters from road network and in areas presenting less than 40 % slopeAdditional Points located above 1000 meters (LUCAS points are up to 1000m), taking into account the coverage of the ArcFuel Fuel Types
