STANDARDS

Language of Planning This website hosts the entire classification standards for land-based data. Standards include classification tables, color coding schemes, conversion tables, and an extensive database of over 18,000 land-use terms and 120,000 cross-links with the classification schemes. We also have a growing collection of pictures of land uses. Though not comprehensive, they nevertheless show how the multi-dimensional classification works. Augmenting this collection, we also have 104 other land-use standards along with background project materials, including working papers, references, links to other online resources, and contact information. Getting to these resources is only a matter of clicking the appropriate menu on the left.
