Process Step This land cover data set is derived from the original raster based Globcover global archive. It has been post-processed to generate a vector version at national extent with the LCCS legend (22 classes worldwide) for being analyzed in the GLCN software Advanced Database Gateway (ADG). ADG software provides a user-friendly interface and advanced functionalities to breakdown the LCCS classes in their classifiers for further aggregations and analysis. The data set is intended for free public access. The shape file's attributes contain the following fields: -Area (sqm) -Perimeter (m) -ID -Gridcode (Globcover cell value) -LCCCode (unique LCCS code) You can download a zip archive containing: -the shape file (.shp) -the ArcGis layer file with global legend (.lyr) -the ArcView 3 legend file (.avl) -the LCCS legend table (.xls) Vietnam Open Development Data is visualised in CartoDB. Subsets of this data were created for presentation at country level.
