VECTOR25 Primary surfaces

The layer primary surfaces (abbreviation "pri") describes the soil coverage. The types of surfaces are mutually exclusive (lake and forest) and form an explicit and complete area network. As opposed to the National Map, the primary surfaces contain interpreted inhabited areas. Buildings are shown in a separate layer. The linear objects of this layer form the boundaries between the surfaces. They are an individual kind of object which can generally not be deducted from the surface ("river bank left" - "river bank right", "defined forest outline" - "undefined forest outline").
