Are you a software developer?: If you would you like to work on the Open Source Humboldt Framework directly or to implement software by integrating some of its components, the "Developing Software" section of the Community Website contains all information of your interest.
Are you offering geodata?: Do you take interest in the Humboldt Toolset to support your generic data harmonisation requirements and the data processing you are responsible for? Please have a look at the "Using Software" section of the Community Website where you can find all available tools and where you can stay informed about the current development status.
Do you have to work with heterogeneous geodata in your daily business?: If you need to combine various data sources and harmonise them to make use of them for a specific purpose, the Humboldt Toolset can serve your generic data harmonisation requirements and support data processing. Moreover, the Humboldt Framework can work as a basis for custom-made software. All information you need is available at the Humboldt Community Website.; Please take into your consideration also the Humboldt Application Scenarios that illustrate the benefits of using the Humboldt software.
Do you use geographical data or spatial information and are you facing problems related to data heterogeneity?: Please try the Humboldt Toolset available at the Community Website to meet your generic data harmonisation needs and also take a look at the Humboldt Application Scenarios which might match your activity area.

Survey on the Geographic Information Market in Europe
The Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD, as coordinator of the EU project HUMBOLDT, in cooperation with the Technical University Darmstadt prepared a survey on the European GI Market.
The main goal of this study is to deduce certain trends and future developments based on the opinions and expectations of market experts and decision makers and not to obtain a representative empirical study.
