This project is funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 under grant agreement no 632838

DigMap project enables easy and standardized way to disseminate spatial and non-spatial data.

Cloud-based service that allows an operational implementation based on open interfaces (OGC WPS - Open Geospatial Consortium Web Processing Service), leading to interoperability and portability
ie. ( WMS, WFS, WPS ).

The specific Dig Map project objectives (POs) are to design, develop, test and demonstrate the use of tool for digital map excerpt that support:
• PO1. Authenticity
• PO2. Standardization
• PO3. Interoperability
• PO4. Data billing
• PO5. FOSS (free and open source software)

Social Impacts
• provide level of comfort and speed of public and private services delivered over Internet
• excerpts in real time as a self-service

Competitiveness of the EU
• principle missions of the European Commission is to promote the competitiveness of the ICT industries and services
• innovations are regarded as crucial for ensuring the competitiveness of European industries in the knowledge economy.

Policy impacts
• Directive 2003/98/EC and 2013/37/EU on the re-use of PS
• INSPIRE Directive 2007/2/EC
• The Digital Agenda for Europe
• EIF for pan-European eGovernment services

DigMap clearly contributes to the following impacts:

• It fosters wider use of spatial data, by public and private organisations, through value added services.
• It promotes the use and re-use of harmonised and interoperable data sets, related to a number of themes within annexes I-III of the INSPIRE directive
• It delivers enabling services for dissemination and visualisation of information.
• It implements processing services using OGC WPS standards.
• Facilitate cross border use and data/service integration.

The overall aim of the proposed project is to provide easy to use software for creation of digital map excerpt, digitally signed based on free and open source software.
