GEOIDEA.RO

GEOIDEA.RO, a collaborative initiative by ETH Zurich and the Technical University of Civil Engineering Bucharest, focuses on improving the scientific basis for open geodata model adoption in Romania. This project, active since January 2013, is significantly supported by a grant from Switzerland via the Swiss-Romanian Cooperation Programme.

The website serves as a central hub for project news, progress updates, and access to relevant documents. It also provides access to a geoportal where users can find and download various datasets, including full extents of data. The project has published several deliverables, such as surveys on open geodata, interviews, and reports on Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) solutions for creating, maintaining, and publishing open geodata.

Key deliverables and updates frequently posted include new datasets, reports on conceptual geodatabase data models, and explanations of implemented web services for the geoportal. The project actively encourages the use of its geoportal for accessing geospatial information and following its progress across social media platforms.
