Natura 2000 2018

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 Natura2000 product must be in a geodatabase (gdb), GeoPackage (gpkg), FlatGeobuf (fgb) or GeoParquet (parquet) format.

Naming convention:

The layer name must match regex:

^n2k_du[0-9]{3}[a-z]_Status2018_lclu_v[0-9]+_[0-9]{8}$

  • the name must start with 'n2k'
  • followed by a delivery unit number which consist of:
    • 'du'
    • 3 numbers [0-9]
    • A letter [a-z]
  • followed by '_Status2018'
  • followed by '_lclu'
  • followed by a version which consist of:
    • Letter 'v'
    • Followed by numbers
  • the ending must end with a date which consist of 8 numbers signifying the date of delivery (yyyymmdd)

Naming example: N2k_DU001A_Status2018_LCLU_v1_20120530.gdb with a layer named N2k_DU001A_Status2018_LCLU_v1_20120530

Boundary source: boundary_n2k.gpkg

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_18 = 1, then the values in the following dependent columns have to be set to 0: (code_1_18 = 0, code_2_18 = 0, code_3_18 = 0, code_4_18 = 0).

Parameters:
  • nodata_column_name: nodata_18
  • nodata_value: 1
  • dep_column_names: [code_1_18, code_2_18, code_3_18, code_4_18]
  • 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. ;

Optional check, the check may be skipped.

Requirements: AOI is defined by boundary package. AOI represents the union of all Buffered Natura 2000 sites. The value of du_id attribute indicates the Natura 2000 site the feature is covered by. For every delivery there is a contract fixing the set of sites the delivery should supply.
