Martin now has what should be topologically clean CLC2000v15 and VMap0 edition 5.0 datasets. | Martin now has what should be topologically clean CLC2000v15 and VMap0 edition 5.0 datasets. These have been loaded into the [http://mapserver.flightgear.org/ Landcover-DB] as replacements for the old VMap0 and CLC layers. | ||
Thanks to the great folks at GRASS GIS, most notably Markus M., the procedure of cleaning large vector datasets like [[CORINE]] is now a matter | Thanks to the great folks at GRASS GIS, most notably Markus M., the procedure of cleaning large vector datasets like [[CORINE]] is now a matter | ||

# As soon as the various tools are working in a predictable manner, the driving motivation behind all the effort can be revived, which is to build an infrastructure for re-compiling the respective terrain tiles on a regular, maybe daily schedule after the land cover has been updated in a certain region. | # As soon as the various tools are working in a predictable manner, the driving motivation behind all the effort can be revived, which is to build an infrastructure for re-compiling the respective terrain tiles on a regular, maybe daily schedule after the land cover has been updated in a certain region. | ||
A clean CLC2006 is provided as well, but because that one's still incomplete (and work in progress, actually) CLC2000 is considered more important. | A clean CLC2006 is provided as well, but because that one's still incomplete (and work in progress, actually) CLC2000 is considered more important. CLC2006 focussed mainly on the identification and mapping of land cover changes between 2000 and 2006.<ref>[http://sia.eionet.europa.eu/CLC2006 Corine Land Cover 2006, Eionet]</ref> All land cover changes bigger than 5 ha have been mapped. CLC2006 is significantly more up to date in some areas, as can be seen in the image on the right. | ||
