GIT Barents ► About ► Results
The Project Results - Brief Overview
For more information refer to Products & Services.
-
A homogenous geographic database covering the entire Barents Region – an area larger than the combined areas of Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Germany – at the scales of 1:1, 1:3 and 1:12 millions, built from existing national databases.
-
An Internet-based infrastructure which allows for easy access and use of the information and – at the same time – allows for efficient up-dating and maintenance of the database close to its “data source”, i.e. from within each of the co-operating countries.
-
Access to a variety of thematic information from data providers in different parts of the world, among others the Netherlands, USA, Sweden and Norway. The chosen technology allows the user to view a combination of geographic and thematic data, for instance satellite imagery from the USA with added geographic features such as roads, railways, settlements, hydrography etc.
-
Printed maps at the scales of 1:1 and 1:3 million by the use of what is called “print-on-demand technology”.
