Course objectives
The aim of the subject is to present an overview of existing analog and digital sources that are used in cartography and geoinformatics, including statistical data sources. This overview is presented on three levels: the Czech Republic, Europe (the EU and other countries) and the World. Attention is also paid to data integration in spatial data and information infrastructures and utilization of data, information and knowledge from existing spatial global-oriented projects.
