3. 3 GiMoDig – IST 2000-300903 - objectives  to develop and test methods for delivering geospatial data to a mobile user by means of real-time data-integration and generalisation  to create a prototype of a seamless data service providing access, through a common interface, to the primary topographic geo-databases maintained by the National Mapping Agencies

4. 4 GiMoDig – IST 2000-300904 Subobjectives 1/6. Real-time generalisation for mobile devices Development of methods and usage practices for generalising the graphic representation of geospatial data in real- time, to be suited for display of the data in varying scales on small, mobile devices with different display resolutions.

5. 5 GiMoDig – IST 2000-300905... subobjectives 2/6. Harmonisation and real-time integration of geospatial data Investigating the problems between national primary geospatial databases, often mutually heterogeneous in thematic definitions, and developing means for real-time integration of data.

6. 6 GiMoDig – IST 2000-300906... subobjectives 3/6. Requirements for mobile use Analysis of mobile use cases to adapt real-time generalisation and harmonisation of geospatial data to the requirements of a user in varying usage situations.

7. 7 GiMoDig – IST 2000-300907... subobjectives 4/6. EUREF - map projections in real time Development of methods for real-time transformation of spatial data from different national geo-databases to a common, EUREF- based co-ordinate system.

8. 8 GiMoDig – IST 2000-300908...subobjectives 5/6. Test Standards for vector-data Investigating and developing methods for transferring vector-formatted spatial data to a mobile user using emerging standards, like XML, and testing the applicability of the standards for Web-based spatial services in a international pilot project involving national primary geodata sets.

9. 9 GiMoDig – IST 2000-300909... subobjectives 6/6. Prototype system as a testbed Development and implementation of a prototype system that can be used as a test-bed for the developed methods.

10. 10 GiMoDig – IST 2000-3009010 System architecture of the testbest

11. 11 GiMoDig – IST 2000-3009011 Technology  based on the principle of distributed GI databases  XML/GML are planned to be used intensively  solutions to be based on earlier research on WebGIS, see e.g. www.fgi.fi/osastot/karto/julkaisut/julkaisut_eng.html
