Objectif
The Project set out to create a multi-functional (medium-scale) 1:250000 reference database - covering France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Ireland and Northern Ireland - suitable for spatial analysis and as a geographic backdrop for presentation and visualisation. It made the best achievable compromise in terms of harmonisation on existing data collections at a reasonable cost for re-engineering. The database is called EuroRegionalMap.
The project also wanted to make the experience from a pragmatic approach towards harmonisation of existing national databases available to other Mapping Agencies in order to promote its extension to the rest of Europe.
Furthermore, the project provided the opportunity to investigate to what extent a low-price/high-volume marketing strategy towards end-users and an uncomplicated and attractive licensing policy towards risk-taking commercial value-adding resellers can be reconciled with the "users-should-pay" principle with maximising the use of base data.
