Objective
Collection, integration and manipulation of real-estate data is a time-consuming and difficult task. In many EC countries various public databases exist which contain this information. However, they are in many cased not easily accessible to private industry. Furthermore, the appropriate IT tools which permit the integration and manipulation of these data are not available.
The purpose of this project is to define and implement a GIS-based concept allowing the primary actors in the real estate sector a more effective access and a means to integrate and manipulate real estate related data than is possible today. It will provide enhanced functionality to the screen to obtain information about properties and buildings. The concept will for example allow a real estate agent to present all properties for sale on the basis of a map. He will be able to present properties in a given price range, provide the legal, financial and technical particulars of the properties and show the distances to various services.
The concept relies on existing and readily available technology based on standards. It centres around a workstation configured with a low-cost GIS system operating on a CD-ROM and a database partitioned in 2 logical databases: one is allocated to imported data and the other to user created data.
The impact of such a system on the market will be considerable. It will provide the users with more complete information about real estate more rapidly and effectively than is possible today- thus resulting in cost savings and more informed decisions. As the concept will be designed to allow implementation in countries with different data structures the system will be of benefit to real estate professionals in all European countries regardless of the current stage on IT and GIS implementation.
The consortium partners come from Denmark, Greece, Holland and Ireland thus covering a range of countries with different stages of IT and GIS development. The partners have extensive experience in public sector processing, information service provision, GIS applications, real estate data provision and European co-operation.
