General information

Kaunas City Vector Data Base VDB10-Kaunas covers the whole territory of the city completely filling map sheets at scale 1:10000, that have format size parameters based on the State map sheet division scheme LKS-94. One map sheet of this scheme covers the territory of 25 square kilometers. There is total of 16 map sheets (400 square kilometers), that are mapjoined to an overall set.

VDB10-Kaunas geodata information layers and geoobjects codes were compiled according to the following documents:

1. KDB10LT Specification (“Cartographic Data Base of the Lithuanian Topographic Map KDB10LT at scale 1:10000” Version 2.0). National Service of Geodesy and Cartography under the Government of the Republic of Lithuania. “Aerial Geodesy Institute” Joint Stock Company.Vilnius-Kaunas 1998);

2. Regulation of Technical Requirements for Topographic Maps at scale 1:10000 GKTR 2.02.02.:1999 “Content, Codes and Legend Marks of Topographic Map at Scale 1:10000”.

Digital elevation model was created by using vector relief information (contour lines, elevation points, water level marks). It covers all 16 map sheets. Additional lines, that express relief were used for generating the model. These lines are the contours of closed water objects, that have water level marks.

VDB10-Kaunas base is open for any data addition.

Mathematical background

Geoinformation data base VDB10-Kaunas is based on the Lithuanian co-ordinate system of 1994, that is named LKS-94. Relief is prepared in the Baltic height system.

Application range

Data can be used as the georeference background for city geoinformation systems , for the general city plan, digital map creation, also this data can be used for cadaster and register care, for works of various agencies. Vector data can be used as attribute or graphic information.

Assignement clauses

VDB10-Kaunas is assigned in the following way:

• for the whole territory of Kaunas city;
• for separate information layers’ groups.

VDB10-Kaunas is assigned in SHAPE format layers. VDB10-Kaunas data can be recalculated to other co-ordinate systems, converted and assigned in different formats upon a separate agreement.

The copyright of VDB10-Kaunas belongs to the State Enterprise National Center of Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics “GIS-Centras”. The number of licences, disposal possibilities and copyright for VDB10-Kaunas is regulated by the licence agreement between the State Enterprise “GIS-Centras” and the User.
