Datenkatalog BEV: Find Austrian spatial data on the data.europa.eu
catalogue
A recent addition to the data.europa.eu [https://data.europa.eu/en]
portal is the Datenkatalog BEV, Bundesamtes fuer Eich- und
Vermessungswesen (BEV)
[https://data.bev.gv.at/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search;jsessionid=9678D1981E48AEE52A9D734CE9B54072#/home],
part of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Economy in Austria. It is
responsible for surveying and verifying geoinformation and serves as a
search service for the Federal Office for Calibration and Surveying
that delivers all metadata records of the catalogue. 

The BEV is also responsible for creation and management of the
cadaster, where all spatial allocations of property land rights and
topographical surveys are documented. The datasets are sourced from
various Austrian government agencies and institutions, such as federal
and provincial departments, statistical offices (for example the
Austrian Central Statistical Office
[https://www.statistik.at/web_en/statistics/index/], Austrian Federal
Economic Chamber [https://www.wko.at/] and Federal Ministry of Digital
and Economic Affairs
[https://www.oesterreich.gv.at/themen/wirtschaft/]) and research
institutes.  

The spatial data resulting from these operations form the foundation
of the Austrian geodata infrastructure in fields such as regional
planning, telematics/traffic control, environmental and nature
conservation, national defense, internal security, agriculture and
forestry.  

The Datenkatalog BEV
[https://data.bev.gv.at/geonetwork/srv/ger/catalog.search#/home]
portal offers close to 500 datasets available in the catalogues
section
[https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets?catalog=bev-at&showcatalogdetails=true&locale=en]
of the data.europa.eu portal [https://data.europa.eu/en]. One
 example of these datasets is the information on flight location
cards
[https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/74a2f1c1-588e-405e-ab30-4fe9cbd90b8e?locale=en].
These are summaries created per flight operator to map a specific
area. The datasets include the position of the flight strips flown and
the central points of the measurement images. These are provided by
the Austrian government free of charge to support open data
proliferation and data transparency as promoted by data.europa.eu.
