This library contains raster data files (ESRI GRID format) for most attributes (73 in total) of the SGDBE and PTRDB databases of the ESDB version 2 ; cell sizes are 10km x 10km and the grid is aligned with the reference grid recommended during the 1st Workshop on European Reference Grids in the context of the INSPIRE (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) initiative. (Workshop proceedings).

The grids are in the ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (ETRS_LAEA) co-ordinate system, also documented in the (draft) proceedings.
