Geological Map of the Czech Republic 1 : 500,000 published in 2007, modified to be INSPIRE-compliant (cut-out for the area of the Czech Republic, harmonized data).
fullfillment of the requirements of the INSPIRE directive
The INSPIRE Orthoimagery data are harmonised according to INSPIRE implementing rules. The dataset contains data from 2024 and 2025. The source dataset is the Orthophoto of the Czech Republic (Ortofoto ČR). The raster image has a ground sample distance of 0.125 m. Positional accuracy is characterised by a mean positional error of approximately 0.20 m. In accordance with the INSPIRE Orthoimagery data specification, the source data have been transformed into the ETRS89-TM33N coordinate reference system. The data are provided in JP2 (JPEG 2000) format. The distribution unit is a 2 × 2 km square.
The digital virtually seamless orthophoto of the Czech Republic in 8-bit colour. The pixel of the Orthophoto CR raster image represents 0.125 m of terrain in the mean terrain plane. The positional accuracy of the Orthophoto CR, expressed as the total root mean square error, has shown long-term improvement. Since 2021, the total root mean square error of the Orthophoto CR has stabilised in the range of approximately 0.18–0.20 m (see the Technical Report on the Orthophoto CR). The Orthophoto CR is distributed in the JPEG raster format in distribution units covering 2.5 × 2 km of terrain in the SM 5 map sheet layout. The data files are provided in JPEG format accompanied by world files (JGW) for the S-JTSK, ETRS89-TM33N, and ETRS89-TM34N coordinate systems. Files are provided in compressed format (ZIP).
The contour lines were derived from the Digital Terrain Model of the Czech Republic, 5th Generation (DMR 5G). The basic interval is 1 m, with an attribute distinguishing index contour lines at an interval of 5 m. In flat terrain, supplementary contour lines at an interval of 0.5 m are added. Given the requirements for universal use in 3D visualisation across a wide range of GIS and CAD software, the contour line objects in this dataset are represented by a three-dimensional vector spatial component with coordinates X, Y, H. The altitude H in the Baltic Vertical Datum – After Adjustment (Bpv) is also stored as the attribute "HEIGHT", providing additional options for labelling contour lines when creating maps. The dataset further contains a supplementary layer of form lines, represented by a two-dimensional vector spatial component with coordinates X, Y. Contour lines are not intended for terrain analyses (e.g., visibility, slope, aspect); for these purposes, it is recommended to use the DMR 4G or DMR 5G products.
