            <gco:CharacterString xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco">The Saskatchewan Digital Land Cover was created to be used in the interim. The National Land Cover Project plans to integrate land cover information compiled by Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

The Saskatchewan Digital Land Cover raster provides a seamless provincial coverage of the province and was created by combining the Saskatchewan Research Council's Northern Digital Land Cover (NDLC) with the Southern Digital Land Cover (SDLC).  With exception to the SDLC's value 2 (i.e. Hay Crops) and value 3 (i.e. Native Dominant Grass Lands), the NDLC takes precedence over the SDLC in areas that the two rasters overlap because the NDLC is more current than the dated SDLC. The SDLC's values 2 and 3 were preserved because these land covers are not specifically represented in the NDLC. For the purpose of this dataset, some of the SDLC and NDLC values were reclassified to new values to reconcile varying definitions.  It should also be noted that because the NDLC's 30 x 30 metre pixels do not align with the SDLC's 30 x 30 metre pixels, this raster was snapped to the NDLC. Last, as is with the SDLC and the NDLC, the extent of this raster does not extend all of the way to the Saskatchewan boundary, specifically, the Information Services Corporation's SaskGIS Provincial Boundary dataset, in numerous areas along the west, south and southeast borders: There are gaps of up to 500 m wide of "no data" between the provincial boundary and the raster along these areas of the Saskatchewan boundary.

                  <gmd:LocalisedCharacterString locale="#fra">La couverture terrestre numérique de la Saskatchewan a été créée pour être utilisée dans l'intervalle. Le projet national sur la couverture terrestre prévoit d'intégrer les informations sur la couverture du sol compilées par Ressources naturelles Canada, le Service canadien des forêts et Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada.

Le raster de couverture terrestre numérique de la Saskatchewan fournit une couverture provinciale uniforme de la province et a été créé en combinant la couverture numérique du sol (NDLC) du Conseil de recherches de la Saskatchewan avec la couverture terrestre numérique du Sud (SDLC). À l'exception de la valeur 2 du SDLC (c'est-à-dire Hay Crops) et de la valeur 3 (c'est-à-dire Native Dominant Grass Lands), le NDLC a priorité sur le SDLC dans les zones où les deux rasters se chevauchent car le NDLC est plus récent que le SDLC daté. Les valeurs 2 et 3 du SDLC ont été préservées car ces couvertures terrestres ne sont pas spécifiquement représentées dans le NDLC. Aux fins de cet ensemble de données, certaines des valeurs SDLC et NDLC ont été reclassées en de nouvelles valeurs afin de concilier différentes définitions. Il convient également de noter que, comme les pixels de 30 x 30 mètres du NDLC ne sont pas alignés avec les pixels de 30 x 30 mètres du SDLC, ce raster a été intégré au NDLC. Enfin, comme c'est le cas pour le SDLC et le NDLC, l'étendue de ce raster ne s'étend pas jusqu'à la frontière de la Saskatchewan, en particulier, le jeu de données SaskGIS sur les limites provinciales de l'Information Services Corporation, dans de nombreuses zones le long des frontières ouest, sud et sud-est : il existe des espaces allant jusqu'à 500 m de large sans « aucune donnée » entre la limite provinciale et le raster le long de ces zones de la frontière de la Saskatchewan.
