Centrope MAP: Combining X-Border Information from Multiple Sources for Planning Purposes

  • Conference paper
Information Fusion and Geographic Information Systems

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography ((LNGC))

Summary

“CENTROPE” is the new common name for the cross-border-region in Central Europe consisting of parts of Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Austria and including the cities of Vienna, Bratislava, Trnava, Brno, Győr and Sopron. The CENTROPE region, strategically located in the heart of the “New Europe”, is one of the continent’s most dynamically developing regions.

Harmonised cross-border geo-information is essential to support political and economic decision-making. “Centrope Map” represents a crossborder Spatial Data Infrastructure for the region. It provides a framework for a common map representation of cross-border spatial data via OGCcompliant Web Map Services (WMS) originating from different organizations and institutions throughout the region.

Centrope Map as a Cross-Border Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is seen as a precondition for a successful and common development of the CENTROPE-region as a whole and all it’s parts.
