         COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1253/2013
   of 21 October 2013
   amending Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2007 establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) (1), and in particular Article 7(1) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services (2) sets out the technical arrangements for interoperability of spatial data sets related to the spatial data themes in Annex I to Directive 2007/2/EC.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               In order to ensure the full interoperability of spatial data sets, it is appropriate to set out the technical arrangements for the interoperability of spatial data sets related to the spatial data themes in Annexes II and III to Directive 2007/2/EC.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               In order to ensure the overall consistency of the technical arrangements for the interoperability of spatial data sets included in this Regulation, the existing technical arrangements for the interoperability of spatial data sets related to the spatial data themes in Annex I to Directive 2007/2/EC should be amended.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               First, the requirements concerning code lists should be amended in order to allow a flexible approach for describing code list values at different levels of detail and to provide for the technical arrangements for sharing the extended code lists.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               Second, the restriction of spatial properties to the Simple Feature spatial schema should be relaxed in order to allow making available also 2.5D data.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               Third, an additional metadata element should be introduced in order to enable the identification of the spatial representation type used for a data set.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               Fourth, the ‘Geographical grid systems’ spatial data theme should be extended in order to accommodate a multi-resolution grid based on geographic coordinates.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               Fifth, the ‘Administrative units’ spatial data theme should be extended in order to describe maritime administrative units.
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               Sixth, in order to avoid overlaps with spatial object types specified for spatial data themes of Annexes II and III to Directive 2007/2/EC, certain candidate types should be removed from the ‘Administrative Units’ and the ‘Hydrography’ spatial data themes.
            
         
               (10)
            
            
               Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 should therefore be amended accordingly.
            
         
               (11)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 22 of Directive 2007/2/EC,

                        “digital surface model” (DSM) means a surface describing the three dimensional shape of the Earth's surface, including all static features placed on it. Temporary phenomena do not form part of the surface, but due to the technical difficulties in removing them some of these features may also be present in the surface.
                     
                  
                        (3)
                     
                     
                        “digital terrain model” (DTM) means a surface describing the three dimensional shape of the Earth's bare surface, excluding as possible any other features placed on it.
                     
                  
                        (4)
                     
                     
                        “elevation” means a vertically-constrained dimensional property of an spatial object consisting of an absolute measure referenced to a well-defined surface which is commonly taken as origin.
                     
                  
                        (5)
                     
                     
                        “height” means an elevation property measured along a plumb line in a direction opposite to Earth's gravity field (upwards).
                     
                  
                        (6)

                        When a contour line spatial object and a break line spatial object provided in the same vertical coordinate reference system intersect each other, the intersection point shall have the same elevation value (if the elevation values of break line spatial objects are given by the third (Z) coordinate).
                     
                  
                        (5)

            Evolution representations shall be consistent with the versions of the concerned objects.
            An evolution with a typeValue “creation” shall not have any initial unit versions and only one final one.
            An evolution with a typeValue “deletion” shall have one initial unit version and no final one.
            An evolution with a typeValue “aggregation” shall have at least two initial unit versions (the units to be aggregated) and a single final one (the resulting aggregation).
            An evolution with a typeValue “change” shall have one initial unit version and one final one.
            An evolution with a typeValue “splitting” shall have a single initial unit version (the unit to split), and at least two final ones (the units resulting from the splitting).

                        Any Land Use data sets shall assign to each polygon, pixel or location a land use type from the Hierarchical INSPIRE Land Use Classification System (HILUCS) at the most appropriate and detailed level of the hierarchy.
                     
                  
                        (2)

                        Where a zone has been established to regulate planned land use and defined within a legally binding spatial plan, it falls within the scope of the Land Use theme and shall be encoded as a SupplementaryRegulation. However, if the zone has been established by legislative requirement but not defined within a legally binding spatial plan, then it shall be encoded as a ManagementRestrictionOrRegulationZone.

                        Based on the INSPIRE horizontal coordinate reference system, each Member State shall define a projection or a set of projections suitable for working with the underlying cadastral parcels on national territory and cross-border areas where applicable for a SpatialPlan. A projection is suitable if it offers few linear alterations (ideally less than 50 cm per 500 m) and so enables users to measure distances and surfaces in meaningful way. This projection or set of projections has to be defined in agreement with neighbouring countries. This projection or set of projections must be well documented to allow the conversion from and to the common Coordinate Reference System. The documentation shall be provided according to ISO 19111, which states how a projected coordinate reference system must be described.

                        (1)
                     
                     
                        “biotope” means a region of relatively uniform environmental conditions, occupied by a given plant community and its associated animal community.
                     
                  
                        (2)
                     
                     
                        “habitat” means the locality in which a plant or animal naturally grows or lives. It can be either the geographical area over which it extends, or the particular station in which a specimen is found. A habitat is characterized by a relative uniformity of the physical environment and fairly close interaction of all the biological species involved.
                     
                  
                        (3)
                     
                     
                        “habitat type (or biotope type)” means an abstract type classified to describe habitats or biotopes that are common in some characteristics on a certain level of detail. Commonly used classification criteria may refer to vegetation structure (as woodland, pastures, heathland) or to abiotic features such as running waters, limestone rocks or sand dunes, but also to relevant phases or stages of the life-cycle of a certain species or ecological guild, like wintering areas, nesting areas or wandering corridors etc.
                     
                  
                        (4)
                     
                     
                        “distribution (of habitat types)” means a collection of spatial objects where the habitat type occurs, giving information on the occurrence of one specific habitat type in time or space across analytical units. It is usually depicted or modelled based on other spatial objects used as analytical units, for instance across grid-cells (very frequently), bio-geographical regions, nature conservation sites or administrative units.
                     
                  
                        (5)
                     
                     
                        “habitat feature” means a habitat in terms of its exact location, size (area or volume) and biological information (e.g. occurring habitat types, structural traits, lists of species, vegetation types).
                     
                  
                        (6)
                     
                     
                        “species” means a taxonomic category ranking immediately below a genus and including closely-related and morphologically similar individuals which actually or potentially inbreed. In the context of the theme Habitats and Biotopes, “species” means all animal species, plant species or fungi species relevant to describe a habitat.
                     
                  
                        (7)
                     
                     
                        “vegetation” means the plants of an area considered in general or as communities, but not taxonomically. Vegetation can also be defined as the total plant cover in a particular area or on the Earth as a whole.
                     
                  
                        (8)
                     
                     
                        “vegetation type” means plants (or total mass of plant life) of a given area considered in general or as plant communities, but not taxonomically.

                        Surficial processes are the physical and chemical phenomena which cause concentration of ore material within the regolith, generally by removal of chemical constituents by aqueous leaching. This includes laterite deposits and residual or eluvial deposits.

                        Mineral deposits associated with sediments or volcanic material on continental crust. They form where volcanic rocks and ash layers react with alkaline groundwater, and may also crystallize in post-depositional environments over periods ranging from thousands to millions of years in shallow marine basins.

                        Sediment-hosted deposits can be divided into two major subtypes. The first subtype is clastic-dominated lead-zinc ores, which are hosted in shale, sandstone, siltstone, or mixed clastic rocks, or occur as carbonate replacement, within a clastic-dominated sedimentary rock sequence. This subtype includes deposits that have been traditionally referred to as sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits. The second subtype of sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits is the Mississippi Valley-type that occurs in platform carbonate sequences, typically in passive-margin tectonic settings.

                        Mineral deposits, mainly Fe or Mn, of sedimentary origin which originated as chemical precipitates from ancient ocean water. The process of accumulating these sedimentary deposits is controlled by the physicochemical properties inherent in iron and manganese.

                        Mineral deposits formed in a marine volcanic environment. Magmatic and hydrothermal fluids react with sea water for giving volcanogenic massive sulphides (VMS), which are at the origin stratiform deposits of Cu, Zn, Pb, Ag, Au.

                        Epithermal deposits occur largely in volcano-plutonic arcs associated with subduction zones, with ages similar to those of volcanism. The deposits form at shallow depth, less than 1 km, in the temperature range of 50°-200 °C, are hosted mainly by volcanic rocks, and occur mainly as veins.

                        It is a systematic group with special occurrence of mineral deposits in a finite volume within a rock.
                        Vein: Fracture filling deposits which often have great lateral and/or depth extent but which are usually very narrow. Breccia: A fissure containing numerous wall-rock fragments, with mineral deposits in the interstices. Stockwork: a complex system of structurally controlled or randomly oriented veins.

                        Manto ore deposits are defined by a strict stratigraphic control on their distribution, generally within a porous formation within a structural trap site. The source of ore within manto deposits is considered to be interformational, from a sedimentary source within an adjacent sedimentary basin, or from ore fluids driven off from intrusive rocks.

                        Porphyry deposits are intrusion-related, large tonnage low grade mineral deposits with metal assemblages that may include all or some of copper, molybdenum, gold and silver. The genesis of these deposits is related to the emplacement of intermediate to felsic, hypabyssal, generally porphyritic intrusions that are commonly formed at convergent plate margins.

                        Mineral deposits related to mafic and ultramafic plutonism and resulting from magmatic processes such as fractional crystallisation. The main types of deposits are chromite and platinoids in ophiolitic peridotites, titanum within anorthosites, nickel, copper and platinoïds in ultramafic complexes.

                        Carbonatites are intrusive carbonate-mineral-rich igneous rocks, many of which contain distinctive abundances of apatite, magnetite, barite, and fluorite, that may contain economic or anomalous concentrations of rare earth elements, phosphorus, niobium, uranium, thorium, copper, iron, titanium, barium, fluorine, zirconium, and other rare or incompatible elements. They may also be sources of mica or vermiculite. Carbonatites may form central plugs within zoned alkalic intrusive complexes, or as dikes, sills, breccias, and veins.

                        Pegmatites tend to occur in the aureoles of granites in most cases, and are usually granitic in character, often closely matching the compositions of nearby granites. Pegmatites should thus represent exsolved granitic material which crystallises in the country rocks. However, an origin of pegmatite fluids by devolatilisation (dewatering) of metamorphic rocks is also envisaged. Pegmatites are coarse-grained rocks, mainly composed of quartz, feldspar and mica and are important because they often contain rare earth minerals and gemstones, such as aquamarine, tourmaline, topaz, fluorite, apatite and corundum, often along with tin and tungsten minerals, among others.
