GeoData Services Ltd. was established in 1997 to manage and realize large volume geo-information datasets. Connected to the project-based performance of servicing tasks, the Company undertakes spatial database architectures, updating existing databases, and quality controlling services. The Company offers effective and high quality work to partners and customers within the EU countries. The projects are realized in long term commitment, most users have been in connection with GeoData Services Ltd. for many years. Most of the customers have been from the cadastral/topographic area, from public utilities and agriculture administration. In the last ten years Earth Observation related services and R+D+I have gained importance in the Company portfolio, reaching 25% of the annual turnover. GeoData Services Ltd. started to exploit the gathered servicing expertise and experience base through R+D+I projects in 2007 – establishing the Department of Development and Innovation.
The operational work at the Company is organized in the following departments:
- Department of Topographic and Cadastral Services (1997)
- Department of Spatial Quality Control Services (1999)
- Department of Earth Observation Services (2003)
- Department of Development and Innovation (2007)
Together with its business partners, the Company has been successfully participated in several Hungarian, European and EU projects.
MAIN REFERENCES
GeoData Services Ltd. participates in database developments of several state administration units with the use of remote sensing datasets (EO and airborne). An outstanding example is the service for the German agriculture administration. As a part of German lead consortium in long-term commitment the Company has been involved in land use database building of several German federal states for agriculture subsidy control. For administrative purposes the most recent processes are available for technical evaluation of agricultural subsidy areas and precision farming.
As the coordinator of international consortia GeoData Services Ltd. (Department of Earth Observation Services) has long term expertise and experience in Control with Remote Sensing (CwRS) of European Agricultural payments (since 2004). The control services have been – and is recently – provided in three lands of Germany (Saarland, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern), Austria and Romania.
2009-2013 GeoData Services Ltd. (Department of Development and Innovation) carried out an ESA-PECS project of Earth Observation Knowledge and Technology Transfer in Hungary. The dissemination project multiplied the Hungarian Earth Observation technology users, and embedded them into servicing environment. Knowledge-Centered Earth Observation (KEO) applications were also developed during the project implementation. Due to the project implementation large user contact base is owned by the Company, which consist of partners from private and public sectors. MODE-EO test partners (see Annex X for support letters) are already aware of the development project objectives, and are ready to get involved.
2013-2015 Company (Department of Development and Innovation) is also implementing the EUREKA labelled R+D project of ‘Earth Observation Tool for Biomass Accessibility’ (T-BEA). The project is carried out in an international consortium, developing operative technology to monitor sustainable biomass utilization for energetic purposes (T-BEA: E! 7651). The development project achieved operational level, since in 2014 June market oriented ‘BIO’ project started, servicing operational biomass information for end-users.
Besides the quality controlling and management of their large spatial datasets, GeoData Services Ltd. provides WMS services for Hungarian and German (Mainz, Rheinland-Pfalz) public utilities. Quality controlling tasks are carried out continuously, in line with the requirements of the customer administration or public utility companies.
Since 2013 the Company (Department of Topographic and Cadastral Services) is taking part in the digitalization and spatial database architecture of the Hungarian spatial plans, compiling the National Building Monitoring System (ÉMO). In the confines of the project the database structures are developed in comfort with the INSPIRE directive.
