Mission and objectives

The e-geocenter.com has been established as the basic aim of the "Cross Border Region Goes Digital" project (INTERREG/PHARE). The forming spatial and real-estate information centre for supporting small and middle sized business can assure complex support in all spatial and real estate activities to citizens, economic operators, public services in Municipality of Maribor, and, in perspective, to other municipalities in larger area of Maribor. From this point of view, the forming of such GEO centre seems to be an important basis that can assure - with the potential cooperation of other municipalities of the region - information and analytical support also in future years.

Mission and objectives

Geopedia is a web-based free atlas, which can be edited an extended by its users – members of the general public.

It contains various kinds of geographical and geo-referenced information that come from many different sources and are thoroughly described, tagged, cross-referenced and categorized. With a user-friendly web interface, it is easy to find items of interest – either through full text search or via hierarchically organized categories – and display them on interactive maps, which can be saved for later viewing and manipulation. Users can define and publish new layers with custom styling and textual descriptions, aggregate related layers into custom maps and associate them with other sources of information. Its advanced browser-based geometry editor allows anyone to insert new geographical features or edit existing ones making Geopedia a true collaborative on-line GIS with a potential of becoming an important source of user-generated geographical content.
