The term "continuous urban fabric" is IMHO not referring to any landuse (btw. the corine data set itself is not about landuse but about landcover) but tells you whether there is bare soil or vegetation (in a noticable amount) inside the city fabric (simply spoken: is it a "whole" or is it perforated sum of holes). This document gives you some examples: http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBsQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eea.europa.eu%2Fpublications%2FCOR0-part2%2Fland_coverPart2.1.pdf&rct=j&q=continuous%20urban%20fabric&ei=ySZoTI7OFcbKjAe38ZzVBA&usg=AFQjCNGbISDI0zM9e0Ee9HINkN4WTnB_yA&cad=rja centre on the other hand has implications on the landuse as well as some historic component. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
