CLMS Product Filenaming - Filename Tree
Copernicus Land Monitoring Service - Technical Library
This document presents the “Filename Tree” for Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS) products, offering a structured, visual guide to all valid filename variants. It serves as a practical reference for understanding and constructing CLMS product filenames, detailing the hierarchical options for each field. The tree systematically illustrates choices for product codes, temporal coverage, spatial resolution, geographic extent, and product variables, supported by concrete examples. Designed to complement the CLMS Filenaming Design Principles, this guide facilitates accurate data identification and ensures consistency across the CLMS data catalogue.
Keywords
CLMS filenaming conventions, product naming taxonomy, filename structure, temporal coverage formats, spatial resolution types, geographic extent identifiers, product variable codes, data catalogue schema, MGRS tiling system, LAEA 100km grid, functional urban areas, Copernicus Land Monitoring Service

1 CLMS Product Filenaming - Filename Tree
A visual navigation of all possible CLMS filename variants. Each level shows the options for that field. All structural variants are shown, but the lists of variables, tiles, dates & values are exemplary - not exhaustive.
