The database produced can be superimposed on the land use database, forming a set of complementary and coherent information layers. Production was carried out entirely at the IGB by its own staff, using a methodology and equipment supplied by IGN FI, which also provided technical assistance throughout the project to guarantee the transfer of know-how.
