  • Project Details:  

The purpose of the project is the development of a Geospatial Data Online Portal for all the Greek islands apart from Crete and Evia. The project is essentially about establishing an organised database network (platform) with common standards and protocols, which will ensure compatibility and interoperability between data and services. The purpose of the project is to enable users to actively participate in designing the Portal, by intervening with comments and recommendations on the completeness of information. Furthermore, it will allow them to express well-founded opinions on administration decisions, which refer to geospatial/environmental data. The ultimate objective of the project is to establish cooperation and data exchange relationships with other actors (e.g., The Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, etc.).
