  1. time-aware extension of data models developed in the context of previous/ongoing EU INSPIRE related projects (e.g. in the context of GMES, eContentPlus),
    2.  
  2. applications (e.g. Civil Protection) based on the integration of existing, user  operational information and
    3.  
  3. value added services for spatio-temporal data management, authoring, processing, analysis  and interactive visualisation.

SDIs rely on the development of policies, technologies, data, common standards, standard practices, protocols and specifications. The SDI main concept is to move spatial data into Web environment and to use Web services for building network of distributed Geoportals. Using new methods of digital cartography enables to go beyond linguistic frontiers. The European INSPIRE Directive adopted in March 2006 defines the standards for future European SDI. With implementation of INSPIRE initiative, there will be strong need for capacity building and transfer of experience among architects, spatial planners, European Regions and municipalities.

To achieve this objective and to maximize the benefits gained from this integration, the requirements of INSPIRE, of GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security), of the environmental agencies and of other related activities in the EU will be met.

            Project Humboldt started with an analysis to facilitate the re-use of existing concepts, processes, implementations and experiences. This also included the analyses of harmonization processes in other application areas. Following project Humboldt is extending the existing by the needs of users and administrators especially in the area of GMES. As a cornerstone for future businesses, spatial planning, citizen security, risk management and many more opportunities, the ESDI has to be a lasting development, prepared for the steps that will inevitably follow with the continuing progression of globalization. To enable this, the Humboldt project suggests an optimized, community-driven implementation process. New knowledge will then be gained and new processes will be developed from the possible combination of data that already exists but is currently highly scattered and heterogeneous.

Vysocina reaches over 800 meters in altitude, in the two distinct mountain ranges of Zdarske vrchy in the north of the region and Jihlavske vrchy in the south-west. The main European water divide, echoing the former frontier between Bohemia and Moravia, divides the region into two parts almost equal in area. Bordering the South-Moravian Region to the east, the South-Bohemian and Middle Bohemian Regions to the west, and sharing a border with the Pardubice Region to the north-east, the region is situated in the very heart of the Czech Republic. The economy of the region's eastern part is influenced by the neighbouring urban centre of Brno, while the north-eastern part is within the sphere of influence of the capital of Prague.

The objective of 4rh way to SDI   is not replace such useful initiatives as OpenStreetMap, but to make results of such initiatives  better accessible for everybody. The objective of 4rh way to SDI   is not to remove such solution like Google Map or others, but give some alternative, where on one side people could share information in different environment including for example Google.  The objective of 4rh way to SDI  is to support utilisation of Open Sources, but so called proprietary solution are not excluded from network, key aspect is interoperability.

Data is saved in geodatabase by default, but the system is able to work also with data in individual files of different formats. Data repositories are represented by the File Repository and the GeoDatabase. Individual SW system components are:

  • DataMan

Data can be search by text or by defined elements defined in standards (OGC CSW 2.0.2, AP ISO, INSPIRE). Basic elements are dataset and services. Basic elements can be extended by user demands but they will not be searchable on other catalogues. First version of catalogue used cascading of multiple services. This version support adding services independently on each other.

This application interact with map viewer so it can be added map services into map by one click. Another interaction is with metadata extractor. Documents or web pages stored by extractor can be opened also by one click.

Services can be added from list of predefined services or it can be added by direct link
