The INSPIRE Land Use data are harmonised according to INSPIRE implementing rules and conform to the INSPIRE XML schema version 4.0. The dataset is processed according to the Existing Land Use application schema. This land use dataset for the Czech Republic therefore has a unified structure consistent with other data produced for this INSPIRE theme across Europe. Objects are represented by a vector component with attributes containing additional information about the objects. The source dataset is the Fundamental Base of Geographic Data of the Czech Republic (ZABAGED®). Land use information is derived from observed reality as represented in the geographical data. The Hierarchical INSPIRE Land Use Classification System (HILUCS), required by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010, is used to classify land use.
