# CORINE Land Cover class code (`corine_land_cover_code`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Three-digit code of a level-3 class of the CORINE Land Cover (CLC) nomenclature, used in the European land cover inventory of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service and the European Environment Agency. The digits give the level-1 group (1 artificial surfaces, 2 agricultural areas, 3 forest and semi-natural areas, 4 wetlands, 5 water bodies), the level-2 class and the level-3 class. There are 44 classes, from 111 (continuous urban fabric) to 523 (sea and ocean). The regexp lists exactly these codes; it excludes 999 (NODATA) and the raster grid values 1 to 44 that stand for the classes.

- Personal data (PII): no
- Categories: Environment (protected areas, biodiversity, water, weather, emissions, waste) (environment), Geographic identifiers (geo)
- Countries: global
- Languages: Common to most languages (common)
- Classification: categorical

## Detection

Regular expression (Python `re`):

```
^(?:1(?:1[12]|2[1-4]|3[1-3]|4[12])|2(?:1[1-3]|2[1-3]|31|4[1-4])|3(?:1[1-3]|2[1-4]|3[1-5])|4(?:1[12]|2[1-3])|5(?:1[12]|2[1-3]))$
```

## Examples

- `111` — Continuous urban fabric; CLC nomenclature
- `312` — Coniferous forest; CLC nomenclature
- `523` — Sea and ocean; CLC nomenclature
- `999` (invalid example) — NODATA value of the CLC products, not a land cover class
- `214` (invalid example) — Not a class; arable land has only 211 to 213
