Course objectives
The lecture concentrates for the questions of the design and usage of the spatial information infrastructures. The conceptual, technological, content, legislation, political, economical, safety and ethical aspects are observed. Particular interest is devoted to the situation in EU (E-ESDI), global scale and CR (NGII CR). The research agenda of the creation of the NSDI in the conditions of the small countries is searched (portals, information infrastructures).
Syllabus
  • - information infratsructures, spatial data infrastructures, portals, the specifications and relations - the role of GI in National SDI, - sources of GI, - handling and cartographic interpretation of GI, - global, european and Czech SDIs, - the role of cartography, GIS and remote sensing in National Geoinformation Infrastructure of CR, - research agenda of the creation of NSDI in the conditions of the small nations (example of CR)
