Metadata: Special Areas of Conservation
Abstract:
A Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is the land designated under Directive 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora. Data supplied has the status of Candidate. The data does not include proposed Sites. Boundaries are mapped against Ordnance Survey MasterMap. By using this data you are accepting the Terms of Use for Natural Englands Information and Data as published at: www.naturalengland.org.uk/copyright If you wish to use the data for commercial purposes you should contact Natural England's Enquiry Service, tel: 0845 600 3078, email: enquiries@naturalengland.org.uk.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 2586 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Special Areas of Conservation |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 1f9898ad1dc40f7008839ac19a4f0c91 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | uknest00030001 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1970-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2099-01-01 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 1 |
Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | All data is captured to the Ordnance Survey National Grid sometimes called the British National Grid. OS MasterMap Topographic Layer produced and supplied by Ordnance Survey from data at 1:1250, 1:2500 and 1:10000 surveying and mapping standards is used as the primary source. Other sources acquired internally and from external suppliers may include aerial imagery at resolutions ranging from 25cm to 2m, Ordnance Survey 1:10000 raster images, historical OS mapping, charts and chart data from UK Hydrographic Office and other sources, scanned images of paper designation mapping mostly originally produced at 1:10560 or 1:10000 scales, GPS and other surveyed data, and absolute coordinates. The data was first captured against an August 2002 cut of OS MasterMap Topography. Natural England has successfully uploaded an up-to-date version of OS MasterMap Topographic Layer. However, we have not yet updated our designated data holding to this new version of MasterMap. This should occur in the near future, when we will simultaneously apply positional accuracy improvement PAI to our data. www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/conservation/designatedareas/sac/default.aspx |
