The 'GISCO NUTS 2003' dataset represents the NUTS regions by means of region, arc and point topology. The NUTS geographical information is completed by attribute tables and a set of cartographic help lines to better visualise multipart polygonal regions. The NUTS nomenclature is a hierarchical classification of statistical regions defined by Eurostat. The NUTS classification subdivides the EU economic territory into 3 statistical levels. The Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS) was enforced the 11 July 2003. This regulation provided the NUTS classification with a legal background. Since then, 12 new countries joined the European Union. The NUTS regulation was officially enforced in these 12 countries the day of their accession to the EU. A non official NUTS-like classification has been defined for the EFTA countries, Croatia and Turkey. For further information about the NUTS classification please check the RAMON Eurostat site at http://ec.europa.eu/comm/eurostat/ramon/nuts/home_regions_en.html At present, five scale ranges (100K, 1M, 3M, 10M and 20M) are maintained in the GISCO geodatabase. The scale levels 1M to 20M are preliminary data and do not have the same data source as the 100K version (= official version). The polygon and boundary classes delineate the regions while the points provide a label for each region. Associated tables contain basic information such as the region's name. Data on administrative boundaries represent a fundamental element of almost any GIS. In the context of the GISCO information system, the NUTS boundaries data are a vital part of the geographic framework, providing means for registering data to regional territories. Equally, national and regional boundaries are essential components of the cartographic backdrop giving a recognisable geographic context to cartographic outputs. completed Statistical units Area Management/restriction/regulation zones and reporting units Administrative units Directive 2007/.../EC/ of the European parliament and of the Council of establishing an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE) 20070314 NUTS Statistical Regions EU27 EFTA Candidate Countries (except FYROM) 2003 - 2007 The datasets have been created for cartographic purposes.

These four small scale version should be used exclusively for cartographic purposes. The NUTS boundaries and the regions were created as separated feature classes and exist at 3 different scale levels (1:3; 1:10 and 1:20 Million) all derived from a 1:1 Million dissolved dataset. A labelpoint feature class was created with a label inside each NUTS region at the 4 NUTS levels (0 - 3). A line feature class was created for cartograhic joiners to identify where NUTS areas have one or more enclaves. Also a line feature class for cartographic separators was created to identify where the NUTS limits are in the archipelagos. The arcs of two latter feature classes are only useful for cartographic purposes and are not meant to identify actual administrative or statistical boundaries stretching into the sea or any other significance. All NUTS 2003 feature classes were based on common repository coverages. These are collections of geometry from different sources which contain all geometry necessary to created the different feature classes for the datasets COMM, NUTS, CNTR and HYDR. The creation of the common repository coverage is a complex process with a lot of manual handling. Here only the process steps after the creation of the common repository are briefly described: Step 1: The first step was to create an empty database schema for the NUTS_2003 dataset; Step 2: Pre-processing coverage data to prepare them to load into the new Geodatabase structure which included: (i) clean coverages with correct precision + check for labelerrors; (ii) creating regions for each NUTS level (to match subtypes in the GDB); (iii) deriving tables that define relationship between boundaries and regions; (iv) attribute manipulation to match the new structure; (v) converting NUTS attribute table with correct encoding type (UTF8) for database loading. Step 3: the preprocessed coverages were loaded in the empty geodatabase schema for the NUTS_2003 dataset; Step 4: adding metadata (i) Eurogeographics SABE and SCOLE data v1.1.

The constraints referencing coded value domain tables were a test of domain consistency. Errors will show during creation of integrity constraints in Oracle. Constraints will not be applicable in case of violations to the consistency. 20070808 No errors occurred, so the integrity of all primary and foreign keys was confirmed. All the values of each coded value attribute are compliant to the domains (except for any NULL values). The cardinality can only be confirmed where it is strict enough for this test to detect errors. true Consistency within NUTS regions of the same level Nuts regions of the same level should not overlap each other Topology rule validation 20070808 No topology errors identified, so no overlapping regions within each nuts level true Consistency of NUTS boundary feature class Nuts boundaries must not have dangles, must not overlap, must not self-intersect, must not intersect or touch interior and must be singlepart Topology rule validation 20070808 No topology errors identified true other <resTitle>Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a common classification of territorial units for statistics (NUTS)</resTitle> <resRefDate> <refDate>20030711</refDate> <refDateType>publication</refDateType> </resRefDate> euRegulation Geodetic Reference System 80 D_ETRS_1989 6378137.000000 298.257222 String NUTS_ID Unique identifier for a NUTS region or a country (levels 1 to 3 or country level) Eurostat 5 NUTS_ID 0 0 NUTS3 3 STAT_LEVL_CODE 3 SURF_COVR L Country 0 STAT_LEVL_CODE 0 SURF_COVR L NUTS2 2 STAT_LEVL_CODE 2 SURF_COVR L NUTS1 1 STAT_LEVL_CODE 1 SURF_COVR L Id OBJECTID OID 4 10 0 Internal feature number.
