ADG uses land cover data with a Land Cover Classification System (LCCS) legend. Aggregated land cover classes can be generated not only by name, but also using the set of existing classifiers. ADG is a cross-cutting interrogation software that allows the easy and fast recombination of land cover polygons according to the individual end-user requirements. Given the need of this valuable information for environmental studies, natural resources management and policy formulation, through activities of the Global Land Cover Network (GLCN) programme, the Globcover has been reprocessed to generate databases at national extent that can be analyzed through the Advanced Database Gateway software (ADG) by GLCN. Globcover is currently the most recent (2005) and resoluted (300 m) datasets on land cover globally. This land cover product is a vector version (ESRI shape) of the Globcover archive that was published in 2008 as result of an initiative launched in 2004 by the European Space Agency (ESA).

the ArcGis layer file with global legend (.lyr) You can download a zip archive containing: The shape file's attributes contain the following fields: The data set is intended for free public access. This database can be analyzed in the GLCN software Advanced Database Gateway (ADG), which provides a user-friendly interface and advanced functionalities to breakdown the LCCS classes in their classifiers for further aggregations and analysis. It has been post-processed to generate a vector version at national extent with the LCCS regional legend (46 classes). This land cover data set is derived from the original raster based Globcover regional (Africa) archive.
