Land use change detection using his-toric geographic information is still widely limited to local case studies. Efforts to build national (e.g., NSDI), continental (e.g., INSPIRE, SEIS) or even global (e.g., GMESS, GEOSS) databases on land use and its change require harmonized and objective spatial information with nationwide cov-erage. Topographic maps have proven an important data source for deriving this information. In order to assess the possibilities for acquiring land use information, we investigated the potential of topographic maps on a scale between 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 of 19 European national mapping agencies. The evaluation criteria comprise projection metadata for opera-tional geo-referencing, information about the areal and temporal coverage of a map series and its degree of revision for map interpretation. The repre-sentation of urban land cover objects such as buildings, urban blocks and transport infrastructure, in both dense urban and sparsely settled rural regions, is the focus of the map design analysis (e.g., attributes of filling, line symbols and layer scheme). The results will be used to enhance image interpretation algorithms for the retrieval of spatiotemporal information on a transnational basis in Europe. %@ 978-1-907075-06-3
