3. Enhancements Natura 2000 SDF Software v. 2
New version has been uploaded on 19. March 2012
Some bug fixes and several enhancements:
Import Tool works properly for Access 2003 or higher.
Export also possible if the data is not fully compliant with the
schema or if not all mandatory field are filled in
Alphabetical order for the species list
Birds Editor
Import single site from Access Database or xml

4. Enhancements Natura 2000 SDF software v. 2.0
Print each SDF by means of html files.
Control system for the edition process:
Users are notified which sites have
been updated and when.
Show how many sites are in the SDF
Manager and how many are filtered.
Enable the use of a remote MySQL
database.
Icons for mandatory fields

5. Overview time plan transition to new SDF
End of Phase 1 of the transition period: all Member States have provided their Natura 2000 databases in the new format
End September 2012
End of Phase 2 of the transition period: all Member States have updated their SDFs to the state of knowledge / best available information
End of 2015

6. Natura 2000 User-Manual updated 13. March 2012 overview changes:
An explanatory note explaining the changes occurring in the database .. as compared to the previous database delivery.
A single dataset containing separate shapefiles for the SCI and SPA layers is
acceptable, under the condition that C-category sites ...are not provided twice.
In order to minimise the risk of potential coordinate transformation errors in further data processing, countries are encouraged to deliver their GIS data in an ETRS89 (or WGS84) based coordinate reference system, where feasible.
The consistency of data from different regions (e.g. no overlap), particularly in the case of Member States with federal structure, must be ensured.
