This report reviews Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) resources to support the integration of RS-based indicators into the FAO Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE), currently relying on questionnaire-based data collection. The study focuses on a case stu...
The Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) project produces global spatial data and evidence-based information describing the human presence on Earth. It operates in a fully open and free data and methods access policy. The knowledge generated by the GHSL supports the implementation and public dis...
The Geographic Information System of the Commission (GISCO) manages the European Commission’s geographical reference database, providing key geospatial datasets. These datasets support various Commission services, with regular use by several Directorates-General (DG), including the Joint Researc...
The ISO & GeoDCAT-AP Pilot Final report outlines the work, analysis and results for the implementation and evaluation of the GeoDCAT-AP 3.0.0 specification and its XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) transformation, which is used in transforming INSPIRE geospatial metadata to Ge...
The Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL) project produces new global spatial information, evidence-based analytics and knowledge describing the human presence on Earth. It operates in a fully open and free data and methods access policy. The knowledge generated with the GHSL is supporting the de...
The EU Digital Building Stock Model (DBSM) is designed to provide a comprehensive and detailed geospatial database of individual buildings within the European Union, focusing primarily on their energy-related characteristics, although DBSM has a wide range of applications. The main goal of this ...
Users of official statistics are often interested in aggregates for small geographic areas, but publishing such aggregates may violate confidentiality. These guidelines help practitioners of statistical disclosure control (SDC) when dealing with geo-referenced data. They outline current practice...
The JRC’s Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) has been supporting the uptake of photovoltaics for more than 20 years. Today this public service is even more relevant in view of a) the revised EU’s binding renewable energy target to a minimum of 42.5% for 2030; b) the EU’s commit...
