Reference GIS Data Set

Kadme can deliver a quality controlled NW Europe Reference GIS Data Package. New players in the North Sea oil race and service companies are all starting from public data to build their information collections. Because a large part of the information can be referenced to a geographical location and analysed with GIS tools, one of the first steps of this information gathering is the construction of a reference GIS data set.

A lot of time is spent gathering shapefiles from different sources, manipulating and merging them into a uniform data set and keeping them up to date. Very often there is no questioning the quality of the data acquired and there is no metadata captured during its processing, this can lead to a data set of poor quality.

The package is a full set of public GIS data for the North Sea, quality checked and cleaned by our GIS experts and converted into an homogenised data set ready to be used in ArcSDE or in open-source spatial databases like PostGIS. The package comes complete with documentation and metadata about its processing. It can be optionally extended to include any other data sources that you are subscribed to; for example DISKOS shapefiles, or spatial data from Spec companies.

Optionally your own corporate information can be indexed and connected to a Reference Index within your organisation. In this way you will also see all your documents from shared drives and document management systems linked to the GIS objects with no additional effort.
