Abstract
Discover, exchange and use the Romanian Geospatial Information Infrastructure
Track: Spatial Data Infrastructure
Author
The Romanian GeoPortal is designed to facilitate the discovery and exchange geospatial data resources to a broader community of users. By the end of 2009, the National Center for Geodesy, Cartography, Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing completed a complex project which is a major milestone of the NSDI building efforts compliant with the INSPIRE.
These efforts will ensure the initial release of the Romanian GeoPortal by the National Agency for Cadastre and Real Estate. A centralized national metadata system and the national geographic data system based on a uniform reference data model and standards are provided via the Romanian GeoPortal that will go live in 2010. The first version of the Romanian GeoPortal provides access to the following resources: Romanian Base Map-TopRo5, at 1:5.000 scale, orthophotos at 1:5.000 scale, raster datasets including scanned maps, topographic maps and digital elevation models. Geographic data available covers most of the themes of the INSPIRE Annexes I and II.
The Romanian GeoPortal connect users to other databases, services and geoportal applications and serve as a catalyst for advancing Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) activities in Romania. The associated growth in geospatial data collection activities by the National Agency for Cadastre and Real Estate and its subordinated institutions and other government organizations has a real potential to improve decision making process and operations at all national levels.
