European River
Commissions
The
best model for water management is by river basin rather than
by administrative or political boundaries.
That
is why 4 River commissions, Danube, Elbe, Oder and
Rhine, use EuroGlobalMap to report
on their respective river basins within the Water
Framework Directive.
Because
of its resolution and harmonised specifications, EuroGlobalMap
meets their requirements for the recording, presentation and
monitoring of information required within the Directive.
The
EU guidelines on trans-European transport networks
(TEN-T), dealing with issues like congestion, environmental
and safety problems, need an investment of around €
400 Billion to implement them. Projects include cross-border
and region-wide developments of the road, rail, air and waterway
networks.
EuroGlobalMap
provides the necessary spatial framework needed to look across
members' national borders, identify current transport lines
and provides an overview of the entire region, thus aiding
the planning, monitoring and review process.

EDINA
EDINA
(University of Edinburgh) is using EuroGlobalMap (under evaluation)
to test the online delivery of our data to
the academic community through a secure web mapping service.
More than 5,000 maps have already been created with some 1000
downloads in a 6-month period.
