GERK NUTS level NUTS 0 / NUTS 1 Mission and objectives 1) a creation of a farm registry, containing the data regarding specific fields which are operated by the farm (including a spatial location of those fields and a type of usage) 2) use of the farm data in all procedures related to farming subventions (IACS, single payment scheme, etc). These include submission of applications, on-the-spot controls, controls with remote sensing, etc. 3) use of the farm data in all processes related to agriculture (animal identification and registration, disease outbreaks, forestry service, land use, etc.) 4) creation of data structure with all information related to the agriculture in Slovenia and the service for accessing and modification of these data in order to make it possible for all agriculture-related organizations to use the same data and infrastructure Funding Budget Legitimacy Ministry of agriculture, forestry and food Year 2005 Partners / mechanisms Ministry of agriculture, forestry and food – legislation Surveying and Mapping authority of Republic of Slovenia – legislation Environmental Agency of Republic of Slovenia – legislation Dev. status In operation URL Users Farmers, local municipality officers, Paying Agency, inspectors, European Commission, Forestry service, Veterinary service, Phythosanitary service, State mapping authority Metadata No metadat within GERK, metadata in Central evidence (CEN, ISO 19115, DC compliant)

e-geocenter.com NUTS level NUTS 2 / NUTS 3 Mission and objectives The e-geocenter.com has been established as the basic aim of the "Cross Border Region Goes Digital" project (INTERREG/PHARE). The forming spatial and real-estate information centre for supporting small and middle sized business can assure complex support in all spatial and real estate activities to citizens, economic operators, public services in Municipality of Maribor, and, in perspective, to other municipalities in larger area of Maribor. From this point of view, the forming of such GEO centre seems to be an important basis that can assure - with the potential cooperation of other municipalities of the region - information and analytical support also in future years.

geopedia.si NUTS level NUTS 2 / NUTS 3 Mission and objectives Geopedia is a web-based free atlas, which can be edited an extended by its users – members of the general public. It contains various kinds of geographical and geo-referenced information that come from many different sources and are thoroughly described, tagged, cross-referenced and categorized. With a user-friendly web interface, it is easy to find items of interest – either through full text search or via hierarchically organized categories – and display them on interactive maps, which can be saved for later viewing and manipulation. Users can define and publish new layers with custom styling and textual descriptions, aggregate related layers into custom maps and associate them with other sources of information. Its advanced browser- based geometry editor allows anyone to insert new geographical features or edit existing ones making Geopedia a true collaborative on-line GIS with a potential of becoming an important source of user- generated geographical content.
