Harmonized Data
Overview
All data provided by the regional partners were harmonized and integrated into a joint data base. Data are documented in a metadatabase. Results are documented in a report.
This page contains an overview of the harmonized data sets. We intend to document all data sets and provide an option of downloading images and ArcView data files. However, this will take some time. Meanwhile, we provide here some indicative images. If you are interested in some of these data sets, send a mail: orthofer@arcs.ac.at
