Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to present an overview of existing analog and digital sources that are used in cartography and geoinformatics, including statistical data sources. This overview is presented on three levels: the Czech Republic, Europe (the EU and other countries) and the World. Attention is also paid to data integration in spatial data and information infrastructures and utilization of data, information and knowledge from existing spatial global-oriented projects.
Learning outcomes
713/5000 The outputs of the course will be the theoretical, methodological and practical skills of using existing and new map resources, especially in relation to key EU projects, namely COPERNICUS (formerly GMES) and its part of INSPIRE. Czech resp. Slovak civil and military map (digital) works such as ZABAGED and Digital Cadastre, new scanner mapping products (eg 4G and 5G) respectively. military DRMs and products from the civilian sector are key segments usable for mapping and other models. The ability to create and implement GeoInfostrategy of the Czech Republic, including the linking of the spatial component to the Registers (especially RUIAN) and the creation of a digital map of public administration, will be one of the main integrated outcomes of students and graduates.
