Protected Sites Full

-- Definition -- An area designated or managed within a framework of international, Community and Member States' legislation to achieve specific conservation objectives. -- Description -- Each protected site has a boundary defined through formal, legal or administrative agreements or decisions. The establishment of a protected site is normally underpinned by legislation and thus given weight in decisions about land use change and spatial planning. Each Site is normally selected as a representative example of a wider resource and selected through a formal criterion based approach. A protected site can be a contiguous extent of land/sea or a collection of discrete areas that together represent a single formal Protected Site. This class has the attributes, constraints and associations that are part of the Full application schema.

-- Definition -- The agency, organisation or body responsible for selecting, describing and designating the protected site. -- Description -- NOTE Responsibility for establishing a protected site allows all interested parties to know who to liaise with over queries or requests for more detailed information on each Area. The responsible body will vary according to the basis of establishment with national governments ultimately responsible for Natura2000 sites, down to voluntary bodies responsible for local designations or quasi-legislative protected sites.

-- Definition -- The source(s) of financial support that are being used to implement the management plan on a protected site. -- Description -- NOTE Funding of management on protected sites is critical to securing desired conservation status. The resources are supplied from a variety of sources, ranging from private land owners to European funding schemes.

-- Definition -- Site Management Plans are descriptions that set out practical actions and measures that are needed to ensure that the features for which the site is designated are maintained.

we need an attribute with the taxonomy (code), the taxonomy should be (natura2000 -> natureDirective code in SD spec) constraint: populationSize shall be used, if it is a specificNumericalCount the lowerbound and upperbound should be equal. Question to TWG, shall we adopt the same approach here?

-- Definition -- Impacts resulting from human activities or natural process that positively or negatively affect the conservation status of the Protected Site. Information needed to inform evaluation of conservation status of a Protected Site. -- Description -- EXAMPLE This includes management activities such as grazing or cutting, land uses such as mineral extraction or transport and natural processes such as disease fluvial erosion.

-- Definition -- An identifier for the Protected Site, using some identification scheme. A Site may have several identifiers using different schemes. -- Description -- EXAMPLE A site may have a Natura2000 identifier as well as a national identifier. NOTEIdentifiers are unique within the specified scheme.

-- Definition -- A habitat that exists on the Protected Site. -- Description -- NOTE This is distinct from the Habitats for which the Site is protected (see ProtectedEntityType).

-- Definition -- An entity that is protected by a designated protected site (that is, the object or reason for protection). -- Description -- EXAMPLE Such entities may include habitats, species and geological, archaeological, cultural and other types of entities.

-- Definition -- The codes of the activities and impacts that occur on and around the site. In the case of the Natura2000 application schema, the values must come from the Natura2000 activity types from Appendix E in the Natura 2000 explanatory notes (Standard Data Form Item 6.1). In the case of the Full application schema, values may also come from Water Framework Directive.

-- Definition -- A list of possible funding types.

contains G, M, P, DD

Contains ABCD (only representativity can use D). If you have only D then no other assessment is necessary for all other attributes: conservation, global, relativeSurface

-- Definition -- A code indicating the nature of the influence of activities in and around the site.

-- Definition -- A code indicating the level of intensity of the influence of the activities in and around the site.

-- Definition -- A code indicating the global value of the site for conservation purposes.
