Instituto da Conservação da Natureza e das Florestas, I. P - ICNF: a data access report

The main format pattern

The largest normalized label is WFS. It appears on 53 resource records.

This represents 49.5% of the listed format declarations.

The two largest labels account for 95.3% of that total.

The export contains 107 format declarations across 6 normalized labels.

These are catalogue declarations. This report does not verify every file or service response.

Compare the resource structure

This entry has 2.55 listed format declarations per dataset.

The median among 40 listed publishers in Portugal is 2.78.

The entry records 0.2% of the datasets in the saved national portal export.

Multiple resources can indicate file versions, geographic parts, or alternative formats. A larger ratio does not prove better data.

The export retains up to 20 format labels per publisher. It excludes empty labels and some small publishers.

Check the two source counters

The dataset metadata declares 107 resources. The format table contains 107 declarations.

The two saved totals agree. This agreement does not verify the current files.

The percentages in this report use the listed format declarations as their denominator.

The export does not establish a verified count of unique, accessible files.

Interpret the metadata dates

The stored sample contains 42 dataset titles. 42 have a recorded modification date.

Those dates range from 2023-10-27 to 2025-12-25.

A catalogue edit can change the modification date without a change to the observations.

The sample can omit older records. It does not establish a publication rate or a complete historical series.

Compare the observation period on the source page before you describe a trend.

Checks for WFS

1. Read the service capabilities document.
2. Select the required feature type and output format.
3. Inspect the coordinate reference system.
4. Check response counts and pagination controls.
5. Verify that the download covers the intended geographic extent.

Plan access to the data

WFS supplies geographic features. Server limits can restrict the number of records in one response.

1. Open the government source portal.
2. Find the required dataset with its exact catalogue title.
3. Confirm the observation period and geographic coverage.
4. Read the licence for that dataset.
5. Choose a file format that preserves the required fields.
6. Record the source URL and access date.

What the evidence supports

The format table identifies the main access methods in the saved catalogue.

The declaration ratio describes the structure of the saved catalogue records.

Neither measure establishes the accuracy, completeness, or current availability of the underlying observations.

Use a second dated catalogue export before any claim that publication volume increased or decreased.
