l slide 5 Cross border region with enormous economic development potential, Centrope within Top 5 of dynamic European regions Common planning and common cross-border information exchange will increase Common cross-border project development and the need for a consistent spatial data basis are essential Digital Spatial data infrastructure is seen as crucial location factor and planning basis Centrope Region – Characteristics I

l slide 6 „European Region Centrope“ comprises of: Jihomoravsky (South Moravia) and Jihocesky (South Bohemia) [CZ] The districts (Kraje) Bratislavsky and Trnavsky [SK] The Komitate (Megyek) Moson- Györ-Sopron and Vas [HU] The „Vienna Region“ including the Austrian states Burgenland, Lower Austria and Vienna[AT] Definition should not be seen as strictly limited to this borders in longterm, as further regions stated interest in cooperations. Centrope Region – Characteristics II

l slide 7 Build / Improve „(Geo-) information infrastructure“ Public sector information basis for stronger cooperation within the cross-border region CENTROPE In terms of regional developement, planning, improved location competitiveness and quality of life Ensure a prosperous common future developement Positive contribution to „Building a sustainable European region“ Major task of Centrope_Map is to make geoinformation infrastructure sustainably accessible Overall project goals

l slide 8 Work packages Project phase III Further extension of spatial data sources –Consulting on external purchase of „Centrope“ Satelite image Integration and harmonisation of further spatial data –Corine Land Cover data 2000 for Austria –Macon data update for Czech republic, Slovakia and Hungary –Teleatlas street data for Burgenland and Lower Austria –a.o. Integration of further statistical data as accessible Development and Implementation of a Web Map Server and Client Solution for displaying of OGC WMS services Consulting and communication on regionwide data exchange mechanisms Increasing cross-border cooperation and communication on spatial planning data issues (workshops, information dissemination)

l slide 11 Centrope MAP – Data DVD Full release Nr. 3.0 will be published end of first half 2005 and will then include: Corine Land Cover 2000 Data for AT, CZ, SK and HU in full coverage with up to 44 single land use classes Update of Macon data for CZ, SK and HU (Admin., Code, Name changes) Teleatlas street data for Burgenland Updated Highway file for Austria provided by Noegis Centrope region Satelite image – Landsat ETM, 15m resolution (to be integrated ~ 20th June)

l slide 12

l slide 13 CORINE LAND COVER 2000 DATA provided by EEA  Corine land cover 2000 (CLC2000) is essential part of the European Commission programme to COoRdinate INformation on the Environment (CORINE).  All vector features digitised from an interpretation of satellite images (IMAGE2000 project) of the scale 1: m positional accuracy (according to CLC specifications)  CLC2000 data is available for 3 levels of detail. Level3 comprises of 44 classes such as: Natural grasslands, Mixed forest, Airports, Road and rail networks and associated land, Continuous urban fabric, a.o. (Source: EEA)  Full vector coverage now for all 4 Centrope coutries. Austrian data is fully integrated.  Data can be overlayed with all other Centrope spatial information  Free data access to raw data (.shp/.dbf) for registered expert customers and non-commercial use

l slide 18 Web Map Services System independent use of geo data is often not possible due to incompatible data and software project formats Large amount of working steps for data conversion, integration and reproduction of data No adequate method of updating stored data from other institutions. Web-Map-Service-Specification (WMS-Specification) by Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Standards and procedures for the use of distributed spatial data from distributed data sources over the internet Generate maps with the exchange of shared services from different sources and different software systems Original vector data is not accessible and is updated by data owner on location.

l slide 19 Web Map Services Spatially referrenced maps, dynamically generated from image files of the original data itself OGC-compliant WMS fulfills the standards stated by the Open Geospatial Consortium and guarantee „interoperability“: WMS can communicate and interact with different Server products as well as with different Viewing Clients to generate the map image WMS – Requests OGC-compliant WMS offer three core functions/ requests  GetCapabilities  GetMap  GetFeatureInfo

l slide 20  GetCapabilities Request The core „functions“ and „capabilities“ of the addressed WMS Server are transferred and contain the Version of the related OGC Standard but also supported data formats, available layers, a.o. Information returns in form of a XML-Document to requesting user  GetMap Request Is defined by WMS Client for map generation Requests map content (layers) in specific style and spatial reference format from the different data source servers Answer to the GetMap request = georeferenced Image file (png/jpg/tif)  GetFeatureInfo Request Asks server for additional information on displayed map data Answer to the GetFeatureInfo request = sending attribute data connected to displayed geodata set
