New German federal and state-level legislation governing access to geospatial data, together with growing public demand for easy, modern access to information, requires municipal and district authorities to make their digital geospatial reference data and wide range of thematic geospatial data publicly available.
CAIGOS Geoportal enables data portals and data services to be set up securely and with minimal effort and made accessible to the public. Its modern web technology makes the geoportal easy to use and highly flexible. Make the geoportal your own – tailored to your organisation’s design and integrated into your website.
External services and data sources such as Google Maps, satellite and aerial imagery and WMS services can be integrated flexibly and securely. WMS services can also be made available to other applications.
The benefits for the public are clear: the municipal information system provides straightforward access to comprehensive, up-to-date geospatial and thematic information. City maps, binding land-use plans, building plots, commercial and industrial areas, roadworks on public roads, heritage registers, nature conservation areas, standard land values, natural monuments, tourist information and any other datasets can be displayed in georeferenced form on topographic maps and aerial imagery.
CAIGOS Geoportal is designed in line with the INSPIRE Directive and the specifications of Germany’s Spatial Data Infrastructure (GDI-DE).
