摘要：Land Cover information is a critical aspect of geographical and environmental information. The actual Paradigm, the "classification" concept used in Anderson's, Corine Land Cover and many other land cover databases up to now, has shown important limitations. Using Parametric Object Oriented Data Model technology it is possible to overcome these limitations and obtain much more useful Land Cover databases. Classification Land Cover databases fall in an error that is frequent in cartographers when they begin using GIS technology: using the database to describe a map, not the reality. Land Cover, as any other geographic information theme, can and should be modeled in UML using Parametric Object Oriented technology. It is imperative to change all this paradigm if we want geographic information to achieve the goals that we expect of it in the 21 st century
