Development of comprehensive online geodata services for sites and monument data

Description

In order to improve the findability and usability of cultural heritage data generated by state monument authorities, universities, citizen scientists and others, several INSPIRE and OGC-compliant online geodata services are being developed as part of this TRAIL. Based on the exchange interfaces developed in TRAIL 4.1, these services will cover data on cultural heritage objects, measures, protected areas and citizen science objects, and will also represent legal consequences, such as those arising from the different monument protection laws of the federal states. The aim is to enable a daily updated view of the data in the archives and systems of the data holders. In order to protect the interests of the data-holding parties, data access is regulated via a tiered access rights system. The geodata services can be integrated into proprietary information systems via interfaces. This enables comprehensive data exchange.
Furthermore, TRAIL is developing instructions for the independent creation of standardised geodata services, which will enable the specialist community to publish their own data in accordance with the standardised data models.

This TRAIL was adapted over the course of the project and incorporated into the TRAIL “Development of Cross-Platform Online Geodata Services for Archaelogical Sites and Heritage Data“ in the second round.
