The European Commission (EC) programme 'Co-ordination of Information on the Environment` (CORINE) includes a project to map the land cover of member states. The CORINE map is essentially one which combines land cover and land use, giving 44 separate classes, in vector, displayed at a scale of 1:100000 with a minimum mappable unit of 25ha. The Institute of Terrestrial Ecology (ITE) has compiled a digital land cover map of Great Britain (LCMGB) from classification of Landsat-TM data, resampled to a 25 m raster, with a minimum mappable unit of 0.125 ha and 25 cover types. This paper describes a pilot study which demonstrates the successful spatial generalisation with contextual interpretation to convert the LCMGB to CORINE specifications using semi-automated techniques within a GIS environment.", pages = "937-953(17)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tandf/tgisold/1996/00000010/00000008/art00003" doi = "doi:10.1080/026937996137666" }
