Geoinformation on demand : the Bavarian example
Frankenberger, Josef
Nowadays spatial data is well on the way to gain an outstanding importance for politics, economy, administration and each citizen. This development is initiated by serveral facts: − over 80% of all daily used information contains spatial reference, − this spatial reference is easy available by modern technologies of positioning in a standardised, global coordinate reference system with high accuracy, currentness and economical conditions, − in addition to three spatial dimensions there is the possibility of integrating time as a fourth dimension or any feature attributes in spatial data services. So GIS stand for a memory of interdisciplinary data, including a provision of its standardised spatial and chronological attribution, which is indispensable for any political, economical, administrative and ecological decision or problem-solving. Due to the possibility of analyses over various chronological scales, GIS fits the requirements of long period examinations over many years as well as those of disaster-management, where it often depends on minutes. GIS mostly deal with huge amounts of data. Therefore the efficiency of data collection, data documentation and data services have a big relevance.
