EEA geospatial data catalogue
Geographic Information System of the European Commission (GISCO) - full database, Jul. 2018
GISCO (Geographic Information System of the COmmission) is responsible for meeting the European Commission's geographical information needs at three levels: the European Union, its member countries, and its regions.
In addition to creating statistical and other thematic maps, GISCO manages a database of geographical information, and provides related services to the Commission. Its database contains core geographical data covering the whole of Europe, such as administrative boundaries, and thematic geospatial information, such as population grid data. Some data are available for download by the general public and may be used for non-commercial purposes. For further details and information about any forthcoming new or updated datasets, see http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata.
This metadata refers to the whole content of GISCO reference database extracted in July 2018, which contains both public datasets and datasets to be used only internally by the EEA. The document GISCO-ConditionsOfUse.pdf provided with the dataset gives information on the copyrighted data sources, the mandatory acknowledgement clauses and re-dissemination rights. The license conditions for EuroGeographic datasets in GISCO are provided in a standalone document "LicenseConditions_EuroGeographics.pdf".
The database is provided in GDB and in SQLITE, with datasets at scales from 1:60M to 1:100K, with reference years spanning until 2016. The database manual, a file with the content of the database, and a document with the naming conventions are also provided with the database. For particular datasets extracted from this database (NUTS 2016 and COUNTRIES 2016) please refer to the associated resources in the EEA SDI catalogue.
NOTE: This metadata file is only for internal EEA purposes and in no case replaces the official metadata provided by Eurostat.
