INSPIRE theme Hydrography - Physical Waters (HY_P)
The INSPIRE Hydrography data are harmonised according to INSPIRE implementing rules and conform to the INSPIRE XML schema version 4.0. This hydrography dataset for the Czech Republic therefore has a unified structure consistent with other data produced for this INSPIRE theme across Europe. Objects are represented by a vector component with attributes containing additional information about the objects. The source dataset is the Fundamental Base of Geographic Data of the Czech Republic (ZABAGED®). The dataset is processed according to the Physical Waters application schema and contains the following object types: Watercourse (centreline and area for watercourses wider than 4 m), StandingWater, LandWaterBoundary, Falls, Crossing (bridge, culvert, aqueduct), DamOrWeir, Ford, and Lock. Attributes are populated based on ZABAGED® data (including names), values that can be derived (e.g., area size), and values that are constant across the dataset (e.g., all names are in Czech and written in the Latin alphabet).

Abstract: The INSPIRE Hydrography data are harmonised according to INSPIRE implementing rules and conform to the INSPIRE XML schema version 4.0. This hydrography dataset for the Czech Republic therefore has a unified structure consistent with other data produced for this INSPIRE theme across Europe. Objects are represented by a vector component with attributes containing additional information about the objects. The source dataset is the Fundamental Base of Geographic Data of the Czech Republic (ZABAGED®). The dataset is processed according to the Physical Waters application schema and contains the following object types: Watercourse (centreline and area for watercourses wider than 4 m), StandingWater, LandWaterBoundary, Falls, Crossing (bridge, culvert, aqueduct), DamOrWeir, Ford, and Lock. Attributes are populated based on ZABAGED® data (including names), values that can be derived (e.g., area size), and values that are constant across the dataset (e.g., all names are in Czech and written in the Latin alphabet).
Purpose: This dataset created by harmonisation of hydrography data from the territory of the Czech Republic according to INSPIRE Implementing Rules has a unified design with other data created for this INSPIRE thema in frame of whole Europe.
