Geographical information system of the Commission (GISCO)
The GISCO database contains core geographical data for all of Europe such as administrative boundaries, but also thematic geospatial information, for instance population grid data GISCO's main task is to provide reference geographical information and related services for use within Eurostat and the Commission and to the European citizens at large. It also coordinates Commission-wide geographical information activities and common strategies and has the goal to promote and stimulate the use of geographical information within the European Statistical System and the Commission.
GISCO activities consist of the following pillars:
• management of the geographical reference database of the Commission;
• operation of the spatial data infrastructure of the European Commission;
• data processing, mainly for thematic mapping, spatial analysis, and data dissemination;
• coordination and relationships with users and producers (Commission, European agencies, statistical offices);
• promoting activities to integrate geographical information with thematic information, notably statistical information;
• cooperation in initiatives for the establishment of a geographical information infrastructure at the European level (INSPIRE).
The GISCO database contains geographical reference data, mainly for use within the Commission. However, selected datasets are also available to the public:
• Administrative boundaries and statistical units;
• Ports and airports;
• Digital Elevation Model;
• Population distribution;
• Land Cover/Land Use information.
