The ISO19115 metadata standard is the preferred metadata standard to use. If unsure what templates to start with, use this one.

Spatial distribution of marine hábitats in Levantino-Balear demarcation in Spain

The approach to the affection of the submarine noise in the Levantine-Balear Subdivision has been made for a 5' x 5' grid, being the noise source navigation. To do this, a semi-quantitative index has been developed that integrates the analysis of AIS data (merchant vessels) and VMS data (fishing ships). For both, cells have been categorized according to the traffic intensity based on the density of AIS and VMS signals in a month. In both cases, different intensity intervals have been established, and different cases have been given different weights. In addition, adjacent cells have been selected (classified into four ranges), giving them another way of importance depending on the proximity. The zero range coincides with the cells in which the signal density was recorded, while the first range corresponds to those cells limiting with the zero level, and so on. The final result is the addition of all the weights in each cell, taking into account the maximum value for the bordering cells. The values range between 0 and 3.1, with the following levels of classification: Very High:> 2 / High: 1.71 - 2 / Medium: 0.41 - 1.7 / Low: 0.1 - 0, 4 / Very Low < 0.1

This data set represents the regions for level 1, 2 and 3 of the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) for 2013. The NUTS nomenclature is a hierarchical classification of statistical regions and subdivides the EU economic territory into regions of three different levels (NUTS 1, 2 and 3, respectively, moving from larger to smaller territorial units). NUTS 1 is the most aggregated level. The NUTS classification has been officially established through Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council and amendments. A non official NUTS-like classification has been defined for the EFTA countries and candidate countries. An introduction to the NUTS classification is available here: http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/nuts_nomenclature/introduction This data set has been created mainly from the EuroBoundary Map v 8.x(Eurogeographics), geographic information from TurkStat for Turkey, the Global Administrative Unit Layer from FAO (UN) for Macedonia and a list of communes per statistical region provided by the countries. Available scales are 1M, 3M, 10M, 20M, 60M). Here six scale ranges (100K, 1M, 3M, 10M and 20M, 60M) are available. Coverage is the economical territory of the EU, EFTA countries and candidate countries as in 2013. This data has been generalised from 100K scale and therfore may not be an accurate depiction of the NUTS regions.

The geodatabase on aggregate extractions in the EU was created in 2014 by AZTI-Tecnalia for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by several sources from all across the EU. It is available for viewing and download on EMODnet - Human Activities web portal (www.emodnet-humanactivities.eu). The database contains points representing aggregate extraction sites, by year (although some data are indicated by a period of years), in the following countries: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands and United Kingdom. Where available, each point has the following attributes: Id (Identifier), Position Info (e.g.: Estimated, Original, Polygon centroid of dredging area, Estimated polygon centroid of dredging area), Country, Sea basin, Name of the extraction area, Area of activity (km2), Year (the year when the extraction took place), Permitted Amount (m3) (permitted amount of material to be extracted, in m3), Permitted Amount (t) (permitted amount of material to be extracted, in tonnes), Requested Amount (m3) (requested amount of material to be extracted, in m3), Requested Amount (t) (requested amount of material to be extracted, in tonnes), Extracted Amount (m3) (extracted amount of material, in m3), Extracted Amount (t) (extracted amount of material, in tonnes), Extraction Type (Marine sediment extraction), Purpose (e.g.: Commercial, Others, N/A), End Use (e.g.: Beach nourishment, Construction, Reclamation fill, N/A), Material type (e.g.: sand, gravel, maerl), Notes, Link to Web Sources.

Une orthophotographie est une photo aérienne qui a subi une orthorectification. Il s'agit d'une procédure qui va permettre, en suivant des étapes, de déformer une image numérique pour la rendre conforme, en tout point, à un système de projection cartographique. Le résultat sera une image numérique directement intégrable dans un SIG. L'ortho littorale V2® est une base de données composée de mosaïques d'orthophotographies couleur. Il s'agit d'une actualisation de l'ortho littorale 2000® sur le littoral Mer du Nord, Manche et Atlantique et d'une première acquisition sur le littoral de la Méditerranée. Le chantier de production de l'ortho littorale V2 a été lancé en 2011 et s'est terminé en 2014. Il s'agit d'une base de données financée par le Ministère en charge de l'environnement. Les cahiers des charges consultables sur Géolittoral contiennent des spécifications de façon à couvrir l'ensemble des problématiques du littoral. C'est ainsi que les vols ont été réalisés en condition de grande marée à marée basse, que les zones de cultures marines ont été levées, que la zone de prise de vue remonte dans les rias, abers et estuaires. Il s'agit d'un produit qui présente le grand avantage de disposer d'une véritable interface terre - mer. L'utilisateur prendra soin de consulter les conditions d'utilisation sur le site Géolittoral
