Hydrography (HY) Iceland is one of 12 themes in the European Location Project (ELF). The purpose of ELF is to create harmonised cross-border, cross-theme and cross-resolution pan-European reference data from national contributions. The goal is to provide INSPIRE-compliant data for Europe. A description of the ELF (European Location Project) is here: http://www.elfproject.eu/content/overview Encoding: INSPIRE version 4

Þekja [layer] j100v_vesturgosbelti_berggrunnur_1utg_p: Steingervingar og strik og halli. [Fossils and strike and dip.] Gögnin innihalda halli, strík og hallaáttir ásamt þekktum steingervingum. Stríkstefna (fitjueigindi 'strikstefna'): 0-359° - fylgir 'right-hand rule'. Hallastefnu eru +90° frá stríksetfna. [The data includes dip, strike and dip directions along with known fossil locations. Strike direction (feature attribute 'strikstefna') follows the right-hand rule where dip direction is +90° from strike.]

Örnefni eru í þremur lögum: flákalag, punktalag og línulag. Uppfærð örnefni birtast vikulega í vefsjám.

IS: Í Minjavefsjánni er að finna upplýsingar um menningarminjar á Íslandi. EN: Minjavefsjá - Cultural and Archeological Heritage Map serves as a digital platform for accessing and exploring cultural heritage information and resources related to Iceland's history, archaeology, architecture, art, folklore, and other aspects of cultural heritage. It provides a valuable tool to disseminate information and location of protected archeological sites, preserved historical houses, archeological monuments, location of current archeological research and operations and much more.

The Corine Land Cover datasets CLC2000, CLC2006and CLC change 2000-2006areproduced within the frame of the GMES land monitoringproject.Corine Land Cover (CLC) provides consistent information on land cover and land cover changes across Europe. This inventory was initiated in 1985 (reference year 1990) and established a time series of land cover information with updates in 2000 and 2006.CLC products are based on photointerpretation of satellite images by national teams of participating countries - the EEA member and cooperating countries – following a standard methodology and nomenclature with the following base parameters: 44 classes in the hierarchical three level Corine nomenclature; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for status layers is 25 hectares; minimum width of linear elements is 100 metres; minimum mapping unit (MMU) for Land Cover Changes (LCC) for the change layers is 5 hectares. The resulting national land cover inventories are further integrated into a seamless land cover map of Europe.Land cover and land use (LCLU) information is important not only for land change research, but also more broadly for the monitoring of environmental change, policy support, the creation of environmental indicators and reporting. CLC datasets provide important datasets supporting the implementation of key priority areas of the Environment Action Programmes of the European Union as protecting ecosystems, halting the loss of biological diversity, tracking the impacts of climate change, assessing developments in agriculture and implementing the EU Water Framework Directive, among others.More about the Corine Land Cover (CLC) and Copernicus land monitoring data in general can be found at http://land.copernicus.eu/.

Þann 16. mars 2011 gáfu Náttúrufræðistofnun út í fyrsta sinn sameiginlegt hæðarkerfi fyrir Ísland. Kerfið er kallað Landshæðarkerfi Íslands og er viðmiðunin ISH2004. Tilkoma sameiginlegs hæðarkerfis markaði stór tímamót í sögu landmælinga á Íslandi. Á sama hátt og viðmiðunin ISN93 skapaði grundvöll fyrir alla til að vinna í sama hnitakerfi mun ISH2004 skapa grundvöll fyrir alla til að vinna í sama hæðarkerfi. Eitt samræmt hæðarkerfi er mikilvægt fyrir ýmsar framkvæmdir s.s. vegagerð og jarðgangnagerð og á ýmsum sviðum umhverfisvöktunar, skipulags og áætlanagerðar. Auk þess munu gögnin nýtast við rannsóknir á jarðskorpuhreyfingum eða breytingum á yfirborði sjávar. Mælingar á Landshæðarkerfinu eru standa ennþá yfir og frá fyrstu útgáfu þess árið 2011 hafa bæst við eftirfarandi línur hallamælilínur. • Flókalundur-Bolungavík • Reykjavík-Keflavík • Endurmæling á Suðurlandi vegna jarðskjálftans 2008 • Hellisheiði • Reykjanesbraut-Grindavík • Þjóðvegur 1-Akranes • Kjölur Niðurstöður nýrra mælinga verður bætt inn í þetta gagnasett um leið og þær liggja fyrir.
