Summary
This article is about the Geonetzwerk.metropoleRuhr, which has been offering a regional platform for cooperation in geodata-related topics of the Ruhr area for almost ten years. It has generated several projects, such as activities towards implementation of the INSPIRE directive, a regional aerial photography survey and a central storage solution for bicycle routes and -infrastructure. A regional geodata portal was established and workshops and events are regularly organised to facilitate the knowledge transfer within the region.
