National Geographic Information System

The National Geographic Information System (NGIS) – is a unified integrated system for collection, storage and processing of the information regarding natural and anthropogenic geographic objects in correlation with data from other basic information systems, consisting of unified departmental and territorial geographic   information systems of state and regional significance, integrated on the basis of  a single system for identification and codification of the registration objects on the territory of the Republic of Moldova.

NGIS is designed for displaying the information in form of a three-dimensional space model with the possibility of situation modeling and three-dimensional analysis, with the purpose of obtaining primary objective information concerning the objects of natural-resort potential of the country in order to increase the justification, quality and effectiveness of managerial decisions to the benefit of civil society development.

At the information level, the National Geographic Information System consists of two components:

• basic three-dimensional space model;
• topic - based electronic maps – information integrated part of  the departmental information resources (or specialized cadastre).

Basic three-dimensional space model

Basic three-dimensional space model represents a geometric foundation of the NGIS and it includes:

• basic electronic map;
• State Register "Territorial-Administrative Establishment and Address Plans of the Settlement Points";
• Register of Cadastre Plans.

Topic-based electronic maps

Departmental information resources have to contain specific three-dimensional information, provided in form of topic-based electronic maps, relying on BEM. A part of data from this list of resources represents the object of integration within NGIS.

Basic information resources are closely integrated among themselves and in totality form the information "nucleus" of state information resources, allowing to accomplish the three-dimensional binding of the evidence objects from the SRP and SRLE.
