Dataset

Statement

This dataset is the result of a combination of seven smaller shapefiles representing wrecks, measuring piles and radar stations, pipelines, power and telecommunication cables with their rock dump, and wind farms. Original data were described in different coordinates system such as WGS84, ED50 and ETRS89. A buffer is applied around point geometry (wrecks, measuring piles, radar masts) to create a serie of polygon that are reprojected in WGS84. Finally all shapefiles are dissolved and published in INSPIRE compliant ETRS89-LAEA projection. The data is then dynamically made available through WFS and statically converted to an INSPIRE-compliant GML file.
