The Ingenieurbüro für Geoinformatik (GisEO) and the geoinformation service provider DELPHI IMM GmbH recently won the contract for the development and realization of a geo portal and web services to supply a comprehensive survey of educational information based on spatial data. The emerging web technology is planned to support education representatives, parents, students as well as national and international school partners in investigating the structure and performance of schools and after school care or day care facilities in the Land Brandenburg based on up-to-date maps. The supply of the web application will be free of charge and is scheduled to be completed by May 2011.
