Plan4Business portal now online available
2014-02-05: The plan4business development team has designed and implemented the first operational implementation of the plan4business service platform. There will be two main implementations of the system.
One is for non-expert users enabling browsing the content, viewing the thematic compositions and predefined analysis and core pan-European datasets such as Urban Atlas and Corine Land Cover.
The other implementation is targeted at experts users who are additionally able to create own map compositions, perform own analysis, integrate spatial data into the common data model based on INSPIRE, download certain datasets or use the developed Application Programming Interface (API).
The prototypes are used mainly for testing purposes and no charges will apply. The portal for non-expert users is publicly available. Your feedback is appreciated. Please stay tuned and follow this website for further details.
Or look at the portal on http://www.whatstheplan.eu/.
Another operational implementation of the plan4Business platform is the polish tender search engine http://www.askwhere.eu / http://www.askwhere.com.pl.

Networking and Cooperation among Subjects in Geoinformatics (GeoInfoNet)
The project Networking and Cooperation among Subjects in Geoinformatics (GeoInfoNET) is supported by the Education for Competitiveness Operational Programme, under the priority axis Tertiary Education, Research and Development and in the areas of support Partnerships and Network.
The project is focused on cooperation among the parties interested in the education, research, development and the application of geoinformatics (GI). Geoinformatics, as a young application field, is going through a development and it is infiltrating into many fields of human activity. There has been a development of knowledge, but there has been no sharing of it.
The subject of the project is the strengthening of the partnership and cooperation among partner institutions. During the project, the cooperating subjects are going to create a network GeoInfoNET dealing with all areas of geoinformatics. It will increase the mutual awareness of educational, research and application activities. It will also enhance cooperation with the joint solving of tasks and the organizing of the events to share the latest knowledge.

HLandData
The HLANDATA project, led by the Government of Navarre and TRACASA, aims to demonstrate the feasible European level harmonization of the Land Use and Land Cover datasets taking into account both the data categorization and the data models, for any of their possible uses and users, through the development of user-oriented value-added services.
Land Cover is referred to the physical, chemical, ecological or biological categorization of the earth surface. Land Use is referred to the categorization of the territory based on its current and future planned socio-economic purpose. Land Use and Land Cover are amongst the most important geographic information themes today.
This project is fully aligned with the INSPIRE European Directive (Land Use and Land Cover themes are included in its annexes II and III) and it follows the line of the European Directive 003/98/EC on the reuse of public sector information.
